When we compare, we
think about how things are similar
![Page 3: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When we compare, we
think about how things are different

Let’s try to compare
![Page 5: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Let’s try to compare
The ocean
A creek
![Page 6: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What do we know about the ocean?
• Has water• Has waves• Is at the beach• The water is
salty• Can’t see to the
other side
![Page 7: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What do we know about a creek?
• Has water • Has a current• Is not at the
beach• The water is
fresh, not salty• Can see from one
side to the other
![Page 8: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Let’s compare!
• Has water• Has waves• Is at the beach• The water is salty• Can’t see to the
other side
The Ocean
![Page 9: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let’s compare!
• Has water• Has waves• Is at the beach• The water is salty• Can’t see to the
other side
The Ocean A Creek
• Has water • Has a current• Is not at the
beach• The water is fresh,
not salty• Can see from one
side to the other
![Page 10: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Let’s compare!
• Has water• Has waves• Is at the beach• The water is salty• Can’t see to the
other side
The Ocean A Creek
• Has water • Has a current• Is not at the
beach• The water is fresh,
not salty• Can see from one
side to the other
This is a similarity. Both the ocean and a creek have water.
![Page 11: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Let’s compare!
• Has water• Has waves• Is at the beach• The water is salty• Can’t see to the
other side
The Ocean A Creek
• Has water • Has a current• Is not at the
beach• The water is fresh,
not salty• Can see from one
side to the other
These are differences. They show how the ocean and a creek are not the same.

We compared!
We thought about how the ocean and a creek are similar. We thought about how they are different.
![Page 13: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We compared!
There are many more similarities and differences that we could find. Any ideas?
![Page 14: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Comparing helps us to learn. When we think about how
things are similar and different, we
notice new features

Let’s compare these creatures
![Page 16: Comparing is a kind of thinking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813e18550346895da7f96c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Let’s compare these creatures

We can create a chart to compare
