============================================================

Thank you for downloading this free resource! Here is everything
in your folder and how to use it.

WHAT STUDENTS DO
------------------------------------------------------------
Each box gives a clue. Students name the term, then follow the path
labeled with their answer. A wrong answer leads to a dead end, so the
maze checks itself. Only the correct route reaches FINISHED.
Correct path (the scientific method):
  Observation -> Hypothesis -> Experiment -> Data ->
  Theory -> Law -> FINISHED.
  Teaching note: a theory explains WHY and a law describes WHAT --
  neither becomes the other, and the maze is built to reinforce that.

WHAT'S IN THIS FOLDER

A NOTE ON THE INTERACTIVE
------------------------------------------------------------
As with any maze of this type, a student making the right wrong
guesses can occasionally fluke to the end. The answer key (and the
interactive's end-of-route check) is the source of truth.
