In an inquiry lesson, the teacher noticed Keysha as she was conducting and experiment in which she obtained two thermometers and recorded the starting temperatures of each. Keysha then placed one thermometer near the ceiling and the second near the floor. After 15 minutes, she observed the thermometers and again recorded the temperature. In comparing the temperature change in the thermometers in the two locations, Keysha observed that air near the ceiling was 2 degrees warmer than the air near the floor. She concluded that warmer air rises and stays near the ceiling, while cooler air sinks and stays near the floor. Although her conclusion is scientifically accurate, what was the major flaw the teacher should have noticed with Keysha’s experimental procedures?

For the following argument, identify the important claims by copying and pasting them into MindMup in another tab, give the ultimate conclusion the number 1, and map the arguments.

In fact, however, religion is a better choice than philosophy for prison education programs given that philosophy doesn’t teach people how to be good inasmuch as it encourages people to think critically about what it means to be good and thinking critically about what it means to be good interferes with the process of actually becoming good because it naturally leads to endless self-justification. Religion, on the other hand, does teach people how to be good since it gives them a moral code to follow.”
