Blood Type CSI
Oh no! A devastating crime has happened. Students will have to read the Eldoncards at crime scenes to interpret the blood type found at each location (you can edit these). Afterwards, the school's lab (you) will inform students of the victim's and the suspect's blood type. The students will then see if they analyzed the Eldoncards correctly to find the right locations of the murder and where the suspect is hiding!Students will:Practice Reading & Interpreting EldoncardsAnalyze Blood TypeGet u

CER Poster - Claim Evidence Reasoning Poster Template
Students will make a poster showing their understanding of Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. You can choose any size of paper. You can have students work alone or together. This could be a great activity to use as a pre-assessment and a post-assessment (at the end of the year).
I would strongly encourage that students include drawings and color.
