NGSS: Practice: Constructing Explanations
Explain This!
Observe: Look closely at the photo of a wolf spider above. What do you notice about the spider? What stands out to you?
Think: What do you already know that might help explain the appearance of the spider?
Explain: Why do you think the spider looks the way it does? Use words or sketches to describe your ideas.
Discuss: Compare explanations with your classmates. How are your ideas similar and different? What new ideas did you get?
Wonder: What questions do you still have? Record them on a separate piece of paper. You can research them later!
