Facilitation guidance from the lesson plan — what to notice in student thinking and how to respond while teaching.
Building towards
12.A Apply scientific ideas and evidence to construct an explanation for how systems of the body interact to support the healing process in the foot.
What to look / listen for

How do the systems in the body interact during the healing process?.
What to do
If students are struggling to fill in the event and provide evidence for their group, encourage them to look back at their Progress Tracker and the Our Body as a System poster to remind themselves what we figured out about how the different systems in the body work together when the body is healing.
Connect to our related phenomena. Once everyone has finished How do the systems in the body interact during the healing process?, propose using what we’ve figured out about healing to explain some of our related phenomena. Say something like, Wow! Let’s celebrate how much we can explain about how the foot healed! Now that we were able to explain how healing happens, let’s see if we can go back to our list of related phenomena and see if we think we can explain the healing that happens in other body parts or other living things.
