Facilitation guidance from the lesson plan — what to notice in student thinking and how to respond while teaching.
What to do
While students are answering questions from the Driving Question Board, this is an excellent formative assessment opportunity to address partial understandings and see if any pieces need to be revisited at the conclusion of the unit. There is also opportunity to reinforce or revisit some of these ideas in OpenSciEd Unit 6.2: How can containers keep stuff from warming up or cooling down? (Cup Design Unit), particularly Lesson 8, when students investigate how light interacts with matter to warm up materials.
