The main goal of the deep play group is using models to deepen student understanding of science concepts. Biology concepts such as photosynthesis will become easier for students to comprehend if they can build 3 dimensional models of the chloroplast and other organelles that enable plants to transform energy. Manipulatives, info-graphics and video simulations are other visual representation that can be used to demonstrate understanding.
