Constructing an Explanation Part II Use your radiometers and the equipment available to continue gathering evidence for your explanation. Record on the chart paper The question Your initial claims Your data (evidence) Your justification for using that evidence Any graphical representation that you think will help illustrate your claim.

Explanation Sharing Part III Your team will now split up and view others’ explanations. You need to look for consistencies and conflicts between explanations. Think about experiments that might either confirm consistencies or resolve conflicts.

Questions to Ponder Where are the consistencies? • Where are the conflicts? • What questions should we pursue to help confirm any consistencies or help resolve any conflicts? • How could investigations be designed to address these questions? •

Conflict Resolution Part IV What are some consistencies among the explanations? What are some conflicts among the explanations? Resolve conflicts

Design a New Investigation Part V Design one or more investigations that would generate evidence likely to help resolve this conflict or another conflict that you have identified.
