how do you compare and contrast?
Being able to compare and contrast the world around us is an essential skill. In the project, students will have a chance to use their senses to find similarities and differences between objects. There are lots of plants and animals that can be found on and around mountains. What makes them similar? How are they different? Learn how to compare observable traits like color, size, direction, shape, usefulness, sound, smell, behavior, texture, etc.
