Procedure
- Working in pairs, infer if each specimen is LiDoDeNA.
- Make 3 observations to support your inference
- Record your data in your notebook.
- After 2 minutes, go to the next specimen and repeat.
Questions
- On your own, make a personal list of all of the ways you decided if something was alive. Title this list in your notebook “My List”.
- At your table groups, share your findings.
- What similar observations did you make? Any different ones?
- Did you disagree on some of the specimens? Why?
- In your table groups, write a list of everything everyone wrote down as evidence that something is alive. If there is a repeat, put a tally mark next to it.
