Setup
Print one copy of the 4.2 Explanations Tool for Fungi Cellular Respiration for each student. Return students’ completed versions of the 3.3 Evidence-Based Arguments Tool for Bread Molding for review. Prepare a computer and a projector to display the PPT. In this activity, your students will need to use the Three Questions Explanation Checklist on the back of the Three Questions Handout. Be sure to have this available to students and see the notes in the Modifications at the end of the Activity for ideas about how to use it.
