Our [demonstrations on teaching scientific inquiry](../demos/Inquirydemos.md) cover this learning objective. These demonstrations aim at teaching students to become aware of the decisions they have to make when conceiving a scientific investigation. They are meant to teach students to thoroughly consider various options and determine, also in regard of the practical limitations, what decision is 'best' from a scientific perspective. [Argumentation](./Argumentation.md) plays a major role in this.

Teaching students how to investigate their world independently in a scientific way includes addressing questions such as:

Questions like question 1. encourage [thinking-back-and-forth between theory and practice](../Pedagogy/BackAndForthThinking.md). In demonstrations of this kind something often happens that your audience doesn't expect and that raises questions. This will allow you to illustrate how in physical research you are constantly testing theory and practice against each other. Students experience this with the support of the teacher in the demonstrations.

Questions like question 2. focus on [argumentation](../Pedagogy/Argumentation.md). When doing scientific inquiry students often seem satisfied with any answer they can find, without spending further effort in finding the most *convincing* answer available. In science only that optimally convincing answer would be good enough.

When doing scientific inquiry students often seem satisfied with any answer they can find, without spending further effort in finding the most *convincing* answer available.

But what do we find convincing in science, and why? Demonstrations can develop scientific understandings of this kind in students.

Questions such as question 3. deal with the [nature of science](../Pedagogy/Nos.md). In successful research the researcher is looking for something that was not yet known.

## Introduction
How can you experience force and motion in person without too much interference from that annoying, always present friction? With a bowling ball! During this demonstration in the hallway or gymnasium, some students try to influence the direction of a bowling ball with brooms and feel the essence of Newton's first and second law.

**10. Checking students' understanding**<br>
Memphis is standing 10 meters in front of the center of an open goal. He receives a hard cross from Bergwijn's left and hits it exactly at right angles, perpendicular to the direction of travel. Explain with a drawing and reasoning why the ball might not go into the goal.

## Physics background
Newton's first and second laws are key here: The heavy bowling ball continues straight at a constant speed unless a net force is applied. With the broom you can change both the size and direction and speed of the ball.
