Original Prompt

Create a notice and wonder chart for the M'Kenna Endoscopy images from the Open SciEd unit How do things inside our bodies work together to make us feel the way we do.

This learning resource focuses on the case of M'Kenna, a patient with unexplained health issues, and introduces students to the process of scientific observation through endoscopy images. It begins with highlighting the importance of observation in science, guiding students to document their findings in a structured 'Notice and Wonder' chart. The resource explains what an endoscopy is, describes the tasks the students will undertake to analyze endoscopic images, and encourages them to formulate questions based on their observations. The exploration deepens as students reflect on patterns in the digestive system and identify the most significant questions that can lead to a better understanding of M'Kenna's symptoms.
