Write them on sticky notes and share with class as we add to the Driving Question Board. Do Next|Agree - Disagree line Would life out there look like life on earth? Be ready to find your place on the new agree/disagree line. Would life out there be made of the same stuff as life on Earth? Make a Model| How would we search for life?
Our BIG Driving Question: “What would we need to know to figure out what substances life ‘out there’ might be made of?” Generate new questions to add to our Driving Question Board - questions we need
