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

  • What do all three choices predict about the same starting setup?
  • Which general clue from the earlier pages applies to this new case?
  • What would you hold fixed in a fair follow-up test?

Where it shows up in real life

  • A child moves a blue bar magnet near a copper coil connected to a small bulb on a workbench.
  • A child watches broad blue magnetic loops pass through a copper coil as the magnet changes position.
  • The same child grips and turns a visible hand crank beside a bold circular arrow while the connected lamp glows.
