Price: 250 points or $2.5 USD

Subjects: science

Grades: 4,5

Description: This Science Critical Thinking deck consists of 20 cards in which students are required to think carefully and analyze various science situations and use scientific processes during investigations. I have found that my Florida 4th graders could memorize vocabulary, but really struggled with thinking critically about science. This set of cards was created to help them practice this skill. Examples of the types of questions asked include: •What was a likely reason for differences in data? •What conclusions could be made based on data? •Given a set of tools, what observations could be made? •Which group's investigation would produce the most accurate results to a posed question?
