Description
These model-making kits allow students to develop and use models to represent structures, systems, and processes. They provide explanations, help students make predictions, or allow students to investigate possible solutions. Working with the ready-to-use materials, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. Each kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively.
Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Based upon the NGSS, these model-making kits allow students to develop and use models to represent structures, systems, and processes. They also provide explanations, help students make predictions, or allow students to investigate possible solutions. Utilizing the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model kit, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.
Each kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
