RIGHTFULLY PRESENT: Using trade books and 3D learning to encourage students' sense of belonging.

A science classroom culture that extends a rightful presence to all students is constructed through tapping into student experience, culture, and interest. It is a great time to prompt students to note any and all questions they have in their notebooks, which can also serve as an assessment to students engaging in the science and engineering practice of asking questions and identifying problems (see Figure 1). Back at the classroom, students engage in the science and engineering practice of analyzing and interpreting data by drawing, labeling, and sharing the models in their science notebooks.
