A great way to challenge high performing students
There are lots of choices and opportunities to use this in a science class.
excellent
This is a fabulous resource!
I'm looking forward to using these with those students who just fly through the work to get 'the right answers' and encourage them to make deeper connections. I'm wondering how to incorporate them, are others using them as question fans when students are done work or as part of the actual lessons?
Hi Jennifer. You can really use them in countless ways. I have outlined quite a few on the first page of the resource. Thanks!
