Investigation: Mental Puzzles

Some comments on the second ("Thought Processes") part of the first Investigation:

1. Draw a map of the area where you live.  (Probable thinking processes: remembering, translating; perhaps "observing" should be added.)

2. Discuss which is better: great clothes, or a cellphone. (Valuing)

3. In the area where you live, from what direction do winds usually blow when storms approach? (Remembering, generalizing, perhaps application of principles and hypothesizing)

4. Many different kinds of vehicles are used to transport people. Make a list. (Remembering, concept-application)

5. Based on your experience, describe the different ways people react to very bad news. (Remembering, generalizing)

Note that so long as students are really "thinking about thinking," there are no wrong answers.
