Teacher: "Good morning! I want to show you a headline: 'Scientists Grow Early-Stage Human Heart Tissue in Lab.' Why is this news so groundbreaking? What do you think they had to understand perfectly to make this possible?" Shows the headline on the board. "Before we learn the science, make a prediction: What are the very first, most fundamental steps a single cell must go through to become complex tissue like a heart? Discuss with your elbow partner for 1 minute." |
Students read the headline. They discuss the question with a partner (12 students = 6 pairs). They share initial ideas (e.g., "The cell divides," "It needs to specialize," "It needs a blueprint"). |
