Veterinarian Bag Exploration

This role-playing activity is designed to challenge students in 4th-6th grades to work together and think in a scientific manner. They will make observations, work with and manipulate data, change their ideas as new knowledge is gained and draw their own conclusions in an effort to solve a scientific problem – a grizzly bear with a medical problem. All of these steps are key skills in the critical thinking process.
