ELEPHANT OBSERVATIONS
Long time ago in a distant land, six blind men lived together. All of them had
heard of elephants, but they had never seen one. When they heard that an
elephant and his trainer would be visiting their village, they all wanted an
encounter with this beast. They made their way to the site where the elephant
was being kept.
Each blind man touched the elephant and made his
observations. The observations are listed below.
One man touched the elephants side and said.
An elephant is like a wall.
Another man touched the trunk and said,
An elephant is like a snake.
Another man touched a tusk and said,
An elephant is like a spear.
Another man touched a leg and said,
An elephant is like a fan.
The last man touched the tail and said,
An elephant is like a rope.
Did the blind men make appropriate inferences? Explain.

How might the blind men improve their inferences?

_______________________________________________________________

One of the characteristics of science is that scientists communicate their

ideas, observation, results, and inferences with each other. Why is this a
good idea?
