Evaluate the following example as to whether it is a deductive or inductive demonstration. Be sure to include how you arrived at your evaluation. Example: The teacher begins by asking, "What will happen to this piece of taffy when force is applied?" The teacher then demonstrates applied forces by pushing on two ends of a piece of taffy and by striking the taffy against a table. She then asks
students to observe the results and to brainstorm about any similarities or differences they note in the taffy.
What will be an ideal response?
This demonstration is inductive because it begins with a question for which no answer is provided. The students must observe the demonstration and then brainstorm to come up with explanations for what they observed.
