Activity: One idea
Overview
Science is better when everyone contributes at least one idea. In this activity, students will practice contributing and hearing ideas from everyone in the class. Students will reflect on the impact of hearing others' ideas on their thinking as scientists.
One idea
Like the "60 second rule," activities that encourage each student to contribute ideas and to listen to others build collaboration skills, science understanding, and community.
Tokens or Popsicle sticks can be used as tangibles to show when a student has contributed; sticky notes or other ways of contributing non-verbally are also good indicators and open up contributions from students that prefer to contribute non-verbally.
