Which One Doesn't Belong
Finding the odd one is the easy half. Saying what the other three share is the half that turns a list into a map.
No score is kept. No points, no streak, no ranking — the only number anyone writes down is the one your teacher writes down, standing next to you.
Show me one first
This one is nobody's word — it is only here to show the moves before you touch yours. Watching it costs nothing and is written down nowhere.
Now word 1 is yours. The hint button is there the whole time, and using it is part of the lesson.

There is no right answer here. It only tells your teacher where to start next time.
Eight groups, named.
Some groups are a topic — all of these live in a plant. Some are a meaning — all of these describe instead of naming. A reader who can only group by topic is only half done.
For the teacher — this device only
One probe row, built from what happened on this screen. Nothing is sent anywhere — copy it into the Goal Builder yourself, or print this page. Independent means answered with no hints; supported means answered after a hint. Both are real evidence and neither is a grade.

In items 1–5 the group is a topic; in 6–8 the group is a meaning, and that is the harder half. Set 2 and Set 3 are the same eight jobs on different four-word rows from the same list. This one will run on your own word list if every word in it carries a group, and at least two groups have three words in them.
To run this on your own word list, open the Science Vocabulary page and paste it there. It is stored on this computer only, and every activity that can honestly run it will pick it up. One that cannot will say so and keep this unit's words.
