5. Two Scales:  Investigation 18

How have our understandings changed?

1. Introduction

All Class 5 Mins

This is the final session of this curriculum unit. Since students first set up their mini-lakes in Investigation 1, they have explored water, ice, and gases including water vapor. They have considered how water is transformed, from a solid to a liquid, and from a liquid to a gas (water vapor), and what changed and what remained the same across these transformations. Their notebooks are filled with data, ideas, questions, predictions, and explanations.

Today students reflect on what new understandings they have as a result of this work. How have their ideas changed? What questions do they still have?
