A question for the whole room
One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.
Ready in three steps
- Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
- Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
- 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 peers through a magnifier at sparkling salt grains with crisp little facets on dark paper.
- A child compares several naturally faceted crystals in a shallow tray under a large magnifying glass.
- The same child studies a glowing collection of differently faceted crystals beside a magnifier.
