!A COMMON WRONG MODEL
Earth: A Living Ocean World is only a name or picture to memorize.
✓REBUILD IT WITH EVIDENCE
Connect earth: a living ocean world to the observable relationship, evidence and system described in the lesson.
A scientifically true sentence can still create a false picture. This repair makes the relationship visible.
Take learning into real life
Try it together
Create a planet evidence card with four boxes: surface or clouds, atmosphere, temperature and one mission measurement. Compare it with Earth. Connect what you notice to earth: a living ocean world using Earth and biosphere.
