The students in Mr. Harland’s second-grade class were using magnets to determine whether or not an object was magnetic or not.

What should you do if you disagree?

• Ask the student, “How do you know?”

• Trust the student and copy their answers

• Tell the student they are wrong.

Students in Mr.  Mendez’s class were investigating how changing the angle of a ramp affects the effect of gravity on a toy car rolling down. Each group was given the exact same materials and a detailed set of instructions to follow.

 

If all groups use the same materials and follow the same steps, what can the class expect to find with their investigation results?

• Each group will get different results

• The results will depend on who is in each group

• Some groups will get the right answer, and some groups will get the wrong answer

• All groups will get similar results
