In science, we read the book, Hearing by Rebecca Rissman to learn more about our sense of hearing. Then, the students were each given a container and asked to use only their ears to find a partner with the matching sound in their container. Afterwards, the students were introduced to scientific explanations learning that scientists use the information they collect to defend their claims. Together as a class, we wrote a scientific explanation for their discoveries.
Claim: There is only one match for the sound in each container.
Evidence: We know this because when each container was compared to all of the others, the same sound was heard in only one of them. This was confirmed when Mrs. Steele checked inside each container to see that the containers with the same sounds had the same contents inside of them.
