Study Notes

Pattern Seeking

Pattern Seeking involves observing natural events or conducting experiments where variable control is limited.
Investigators aim to identify patterns arising from a series of changes in conditions or factors.
Recognizing patterns helps establish relationships between observations or measurements and the influencing variables.
It's crucial to document all variables that might impact outcomes, particularly those that change uncontrollably.
Pattern Seeking identifies correlations but does not provide explanations for the observed patterns.
Once a pattern is established, it can guide further investigations to explore causation or to categorize elements of the pattern.

Questions Suitable for Pattern Seeking Investigation

Questions include how clouds can predict weather occurrences.
Investigating how plant and animal species vary between high and low tide marks on rocks.
Exploring changes in plant species over time following a landslide event.
