A question for the whole room

One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.

Ready in three steps

  1. Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
  2. Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
  3. Run it. Watch. Wonder.Choose the class’s prediction, run the experiment, and compare what happened with your guesses.

Different guesses are welcome. The experiment gives everyone something to rethink.

Something to put on paper

A one-page prediction and observation sheet. No answers included.

After the experiment: discussion notes

Talk about what happened

  • Which bicycle can catch the lean?
  • Describe the evidence after the run.
  • Explain one limit of the model.

Where it shows up in real life

  • A child watches an empty blue bicycle roll across a park path while another bicycle rests nearby.
  • A child slides a small board beneath a leaning stack of blocks before it can topple.
  • The same child rides a blue bicycle calmly along the park path with both hands lightly on the bars.
