What do scientist do for today’s activity?
• Make observations– Look at the sand/geological surface
– Notice similarities and differences
• Ask questions– What do you wonder when looking at the sand/geological surface
or thinking about the investigation
• Make predictions– Based on what you already know about geology, what do you
observe?
– What patterns do you notice that lead you to make reasonable guesses about the sand/geological surface

What do scientist do for today’s activity?
• Conduct investigations– How can you find answers to your questions? – Use your senses, tools and conversations with others around you
• Record data– Draw, describe and organize your observations
• Analyze findings– What does your data mean? – What is your evidence to support your explanations?
• Communicate ideas– Share your ideas with others in your group. – Listen to their reflections
