Compare one part at a time. Start at the top, then look at the rocket and ground. Name the object and its change. A moved object is still the same count of objects. You can use the written scene descriptions as well as the pictures.

Worked example

If a star moves from the left of a rocket to its right, its position changes. There is still one star. Saying where it moved is more useful than saying that the picture feels different.

Scene A has a star at upper left, one rocket window and two ground blocks. Scene B has a star at upper right, two rocket windows and two ground blocks.
Look at both scenes: compare positions, counts and shapes.

Two Rocket-Pad Scenes

Scene A: one star at the upper left, a rocket with one round window, and two ground blocks. Scene B: one star at the upper right, a rocket with two round windows, and two ground blocks. Both pictures remain visible. On paper, mark the two changes and say one thing that stayed the same.

Question 1 How many round windows are on the rocket in Scene B?
Question 2 What changed about the star?
Question 3 Which feature stayed the same?
Question 4 How many more windows does Scene B have than Scene A?
Question 5 Which method makes a comparison easier?
