Last week we finished our Unit of Inquiry on the senses. To wrap things up we went on a "sense-ational journey" around the school, keeping track of the various ways we use our senses as we move throughout the day. We recorded data like scientists and used it in the classroom to lead a discussion about how important our senses are. We concluded by popping and eating popcorn, realizing that in doing so we were using all of our five senses!
We have now started a new Unit that focuses on plants. The central idea of this Unit is:
We will explore this idea more deeply through the following lines of inquiry:
We have now started a new Unit that focuses on plants. The central idea of this Unit is:
By providing us with many things we need, plants help sustain life on earth.
We will explore this idea more deeply through the following lines of inquiry:
- The properties of plants
- What plants provide for us and other living things
- Learning to care for and nurture plants
At this point in the Unit we are sharing our current knowledge and are beginning to share our "wonders". We will work as scientist to prove and disprove statements throughout the next several weeks and will learn how our math focuses of patterns and measurement can provide lots of important information to help us appropriately nurture plants.
