Skills Lesson: Making Comparisons

Question 2 • ALT Environmental Science S1 - 6665E

After visiting a nature center, students were asked to contrast their observations based on location. Which of these students followed those directions?

Answer
A
Amy: wildlife in or near water = turtles, crayfish, goldfish non-water wildlife = fox, deer, bobcat
B
Craig: wildlife with hair or fur = fox, deer, bobcat wildlife without hair or fur = turtle, crayfish, goldfish
C
Megan: mammals = fox, deer, bobcat other = turtle, crayfish, goldfish
D
Luke: observed = fox, deer, bobcat, turtle, crayfish, goldfish not observed = water snake, squirrel

Explanation

The directions ask students to group their observations by location. Amy does this by separating wildlife in or near water from wildlife not associated with water. Craig groups animals by whether they have hair or fur, and Megan groups them by whether they are mammals, so neither uses location. Luke separates observed from not observed, which is not a location-based contrast.
