Collective Intelligence - Help???

[lostman]

OK - could we put the collective intelligence of HF to work helping a teacher prepare a presentation for inservice??? I am trying to make this somewhat entertaining and my mind is just blank. So maybe I could give some of you something to do in idle moments! Thanks for any help you can offer, the only restriction is it has to be kept clean!

I am doing a 40 minute presentation on Generating & Testing Hypotheses. There are 6 parts - system analysis, problem solving, decision making, historical investigation, experimental inquiry, and invention. I have 3 clips from Apollo 13 to use for system analysis, problem solving, and invention. The clips can only be 1-2 min long, and should illustrate or introduce the concept. They can be from a movie or a TV show.

I think most of the topics are pretty self explanatory except historical investigation. That entails contstructing and investigating plausible scenarios for a past even about which there is no general agreement. For example - Did George Washington chop down the cherry tree?

I am using MediaConverter.org to convert them to a wmv file and save to use in the PPT.

Thanks for any and all suggestions! I know the teachers will thank you too!

How about this for Historical Investigation?

Nice one Horns! Now what question would you pose to go with it? What is the significance of the rickroll? Personally, I think Technoviking holds more historical investigation possibilities.

put the Horns using Shipley instead of a tight end against OU as problem solving....
