PredictConfronted with an engaging question, students use their prior knowledge to formulate an explanation for an event or an idea about a concept.

Using articles, images and video accessible directly in Pathways: Science, students dig for evidence to support or contradict their predictions. Students’ notes are dynamically captured and can be saved in an interactive graphic organiser and retrieved as needed.

InvestigateStudents evaluate the evidence they found and compare it to their original ideas to determine which idea is correct and why the misconceptions are incorrect.
