    The document describes a series of "tricky tracks" diagrams provided to students one by one, showing animal tracks in different configurations. By examining each diagram and comparing them, students are meant to infer what occurred and realize that more information is needed to determine the full situation. The goal is to illustrate how scientific investigation works and that definitive conclusions cannot be made without further research and data collection.
