On Your Own
In generating and testing hypotheses the students are active learners going through the scientific method to find conclusions. The students are central to solving the problem, because they are making decisions about how to solve the problem. All students look want that feeling of ownership when doing any task including schoolwork.
In identifying differences and similarities students are linking similarities and differences to what they already know, and making new categories for information that doesn’t fit in an existing category.
