The materials show consistent, intentional support for three-dimensional sensemaking: every LLPE is explicitly designed to combine SEPs, DCIs, and CCCs with font-coded dimension alignment [E2], and assessments are built around the integration of all three dimensions working together across student explanations and models [E7][E9][E10]. Sensemaking is anchored in phenomena (bath bomb, sea turtle incubator) where students develop and revise models that integrate macroscopic/microscopic reasoning and apply CCCs like patterns and cause/effect [E3][E5][E6], and tools like the Progress Tracker and peer feedback sustain student-driven reasoning over time [E1][E12]. This structural evidence across multiple grade-7 and grade-8 units demonstrates the materials consistently support meaningful three-dimensional sensemaking.
