Spin spider, spin. Each student will be responsible for one section of the fact sheet to read and summarize for the class. As students report their findings we will see if we can verify their information by observing the photographs of spiders. We will also use other books and photographs to observe many types of spiders. You have just formed a hypothesis.
Scientists use a particular method to prove their hypothesis.
The first step is when you make observations about something. Put a question in the box. The teacher will spend a lot of time here, encouraging responses so that students understand there is more than one way to conduct this experiment and there are countless correct answers. Students are not used to that idea. They need time to test that theory.
