Students will analyze examples and non-examples to deduce the topic: Capital Cities.
First, students get a set of items categorized in two groups.
Then they get a set of ungrouped items. Which columns will they go in?
Finally, I reveal the topic: each example is a capital city.

Students will research and analyze four nations in Africa, finding at least one reason why each one is not like the others.
Students will analyze examples and non-examples to deduce the topic of archipelagos.
First, students get a set of examples and non-examples to analyze.
Then they get a set of ungrouped items. Which are examples and which are non-examples?
Finally, I reveal the topic.
Students will compare the population of a country with that country's total Olympic medal count and look for patterns.
Students pick 5 to 7 countries and look up the populations and counts.
Next, they calculate medals per million for each country.
Finally, they analyze their data and look for patterns. Would those patterns continue across other countries?
Students will create and analyze a graph showing countries' winter and summer Olympic medals.
Students pick a handful of countries and then predict which ones will be stronger in winter or summer or about even.
Next, they find the summer and winter medal totals for each country.
Then, they create a graph and plot each country using the medal data as coordinates.
Finally, they check their predictions and then give each country an award based on their medal counts.
Students will research and analyze four microstates in Europe, finding at least one reason why each one is not like the others.
Students will analyze four US states and decide why each one is not like the others.
Students will analyze four mountains and determine why each is unique.
Students will come up with at least one reason why each of these four countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia) is not like the others.
