I've used this strategy during K small group non-fiction reading lessons when comparing spiders with animals that are not spiders, comparing farm animals and zoo animals, mammals and insects, etc.
I've used this for strategy for math when sorting attribute blocks (size, color, shape) with pre-K and Kindergarten level students.
science lessons by comparing plants to our bodies and how we grow.
I haven't used this strategy often but think it could be used in a meaningful way to introduce concepts such as opposites.

Synthesis:
This skill fosters higher-level thinking. Our words were related to higher levels on Bloom's Taxonomy.
Justifying their answers are critical.
We must teach them how to use inductive and deductive reasoning, how to hypothesize, how to test, etc.
