The Explanation Tool
In this video from the American Museum of Natural History,
we are presented with the Explanation Tool. The video explains the parts of the
tool and how the tool works in the classroom. The Explanation Tool would be a
valuable resource for students struggling with writing and communicating
scientifically. The tool would provide the students with a resource to organize
their thinking and writing allowing them to establish better communication and
literacy in the science content area.

I think this tool is awesome for kids and teachers to have access to in the classroom! Remembering back to my middle school days and even in high school, it was never easy to formulate your experimental or scientific ideas into explanations. It was a different form of writing than we were used to in our language arts classes. This tool would be a great resource for middle school students to organize their thinking.
