In this activity, students model how scientists work together to gather evidence. They are given pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and asked to make a claim about what the entire puzzle picture looks like. Each round they are given more pieces (more evidence). As the activity progress, they are also able to discuss the evidence with other students (scientists). This activity is used as an engaging activity for a unit on evolution and leads to a discussion and futher lessons on how a theory develops.
