Summary

Put these animals into groups. Then do it again. Then… do it one more time. How does re-re-grouping the same creatures reveal new patterns and give new insights?

  1. Students create 2-5(ish) categories of animals using a list that they generate or that you provide. They can use an criteria to form their groups, but no group can be called "other."
  2. Then they'll start over and re-group those same animals into new categories.
  3. Then, yes, they'll re-re-group those animals into another set of animals.
  4. Finally, students describe how looking at the same creatures from different perspectives gave them some new insight or idea.
