The Making Thinking Visible Curriculum: What's on Your Plate?

In the Making Thinking Visible project we designed a curriculum unit called "What's on Your Plate?" around two of the WISE (Web-based Inquiry Science Environment) pedagogical principles:

• Making Thinking Visible
• Help students Learn from One Another

This is an 8-10 day unit with many activities involving inquiry, modeling, model-critiquing, question-posing, collaborative discourse, dynamic models, and, real time geological data.
