From Teacher Edition
Facilitation guidance from the lesson plan — what to notice in student thinking and how to respond while teaching.
What to look / listen for
What to look and listen for
Students’ questions for the DQB should be connected to the observations that they had previously made but be more directed at seeking additional information about how they could design a device that will heat food without electricity or flame (possibly using a chemical process).
What to do
If students are struggling to generate questions connected to their previous observations, direct them to their Notice and Wonder chart and related situations list. If students are struggling to seek information that could inform their design, point them to specific places in their initial design and ask, What would you need to know more about to figure this out?
