<p>This resource was created as a bridge between using tape diagrams to divide whole numbers by fractions and developing understanding of using the algorithm to come to the same answer. I utilized shapes to remind them of the steps to creating a tape diagram while in the form of an equation.</p>

<p>This 3 day inquiry activity incorporates activities that explore the affect heat has on the movement of molecules. Students will first explore the affect of heat on molecules of cookies, making judgments based on experiences and discovery. In the second task students will observe or conduct a diffusion lab to show movement of heat in water. The final activity has students analyzing the movement of molecules in a PhET simulation.</p>

<p>CER writing prompt can be used as assessment or as a writing assignment. Includes rubric aligned to MYP year 1 science criterion A. I used this product as part of a unit of heat transfer. Students are also required to create a thinking map prior to writing out the CER paragraph.</p>

<p>I created this as an MYP design project after teaching a unit on heat transfer.</p>
