In science, students must make claims and support them with evidence. Sometimes even paper and pencil can feel too permanent but whiteboards give them the freedom to make changes as needed and add to them when they discover new ideas. Using these boards will give them a chance to adjust claims and reasoning when they learn! As we investigate the world around us and make new connections, we can alter our claims and develop more advanced reasoning. This also allows me to quickly determine if students have misconceptions after we have completed an experiment. Students can also practice their writing and speaking skills because these will make gallery walks and peer reviews a snap! We can even keep them posted around the room as we do further experiments in case we need to completely change our minds.
