Using their notebooks, measured model pieces, and class charts, pairs choose evidence to support one similarity and one difference between a plant and an animal life cycle. They compare lengths, shapes, or numbers on their models with linking cubes, rulers, and labels, then rehearse a short explanation with a partner. The teacher prompts students to notice any evidence that does not fully match their first idea and to revise the claim if needed.
