q1 · i? · causal · r1

Qualitative observation of EG students' end-of-activity drawings made without visual support, reported in the analysis of learning activity no. 2. Students used colours correctly and represented relative planet sizes.

"They correctly or dered the planets from the Sun. They represented the size and shape of each planet: the smaller inner planets, Jupiter the largest of the planets, and the outer planets larger than the inner planets."
