• This resource is great for encouraging students to become more independent, engage in MEANINGFUL science discussions, and reflect on their own ideas as well as the ideas of others! The reference rings can be used before, during or after activities such as labs/experiments, demonstrations, videos, discussions, readings, etc.

• With the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in place, students need to analyze tables/charts, discuss their ideas and develop their own investigations and these reference rings will help students develop and master those skills. A CER reference is included! Even if you do not follow the NGSS, these reference rings are still a great resource to provide for your students!

• The reference rings can be placed on student desks/tables so students will refer to them as needed or when asked to use them. You simply print on card stock, laminate, and cut then hole punch the corners and place them all on a metal ring. Students can flip through the various categories to find what they need! Color and black and white versions are included, as well as color with no ring-whole guide.
