How do you inspire students to keep records like scientists? Share the primary research of real scientists and explicitly teach students how to keep records—that’s how! Therefore, a group of third-grade students and their teacher studied the work of famous primatologist Jane Goodall and her modern-day counterpart Ian Gilby. After learning about the scientists’ work with chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania, Africa, students conducted an animal behavior inquiry of their own—with their pets! In doing so, students modeled real scientists as they practiced keeping records while learning how to make and read graphs. Their “Great Moments in Record Keeping” are shared here.
