Every year I do an investigation with planaria worms and I think I would like to try this literature circle thing to open up more questions, even though we just focus on how they regenerate. Time is always an issue with the tight pacing guides, but I think will be worth it.

This is such a great experience modeling the inquiry process. With this as their basis, I imagine they are going to dive right into searching for answers to all sorts of questions.
