Since we figured out that matter and energy are different things, we decided to swing back around and make sense of what we figured out about how plants get their matter and how matter can be represented at a zoom-in level as particles!
Students developed initial models to explain where plants get the matter they need to grow (since we've figured out the difference between matter and energy, energy being the ability to get stuff to move, heat up, or be powered).
Here is a look at their initial models:

We completed a "silent gallery walk" where students offered critical feedback to their peers. Here's a sampling of their feedback! How thoughtful!
And from there, we discussed the similarities and differences of our models to revise them and work towards establishing consensus!
