Getting started
Find a friend. Tell them how you are similar.
Find another friend. Tell them how you are different.
Look at these children. They all look similar in some ways. They all have two eyes. They look different in other ways. They have different hair.
In what other ways are they similar?
In what other ways are they different?
These children are twins. They do not look different. We say they look the same. Do you know any twins?
Think like a scientist
How are we different?
Talk to your friends about how you are different. These children have used hair colour to make groups. They have made a brown group, a black group and a blonde group. Make groups like this with your friends. Use one thing that is different like height, eye colour or clothes. Think of a name for each group.
How am I doing?
Look at your groups. Are all the children in the right group? How do you know?
