Using the day 1 class graph and specimen photos, students act out birth, growth, reproduction, and death with simple motions, then help create teacher-recorded investigation questions on chart paper. In small groups, they compare two possible explanations for a pattern they noticed and use counters or drawings to solve short story problems about the category counts from the graph. Students then give feedback to 2 peers by listening to their sketch or oral idea, naming one clear part and one wondering, and revising their own first idea with one added label, arrow, or audio note.
