I use loads of hands-on activities and labs for my science class. I like to use Claim-Evidence-Reasoning in Biology. The activities I use are Introducing Inquiry, Inquiry Cube #1, and Inquiry Cubes. (Here is a worksheet for Inquiry Cube #1.) (Here are several inquiry cubes to print.) I do not ask kids to complete a worksheet. Instead, I just ask them to determine what is on the bottom? Cube #2 has names. The kids should determine the name, color, and numbers of the face taped down on the bottom of the cube. What’s the point? I want kids to use deductive reasoning and explain their thought processes, skills we’ll need all year in Biology. I took a photos of Cubes #1 and #2.
