🗣️ Survival Claim Debate Cards

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Effective Communication Content Expertise Self Directed Learning 3-LS2-1 3-LS4-3 3-LS4-4 Submission Required

In small groups, students use discussion cards with sentence stems to test claims about animal groups, traits, and habitat survival. They place graph pages, field notes, and organism cards in the center, then challenge and defend ideas using evidence, including cases that do not fit their first thinking. Each group records one claim they kept, one claim they changed, and the evidence that caused the change.
