We're asking LOTS of questions in Science lately about our Human Body (5) + Biodiversity (6) cross-curricular inquiries. Students are wondering about the coolest things... Grade 5s want to know things like:
Grade 6s are curious about:
Take a peek at your child's question below... From this jumping off point, students formulated both open and closed ended questions to guide them along their inquiries and research information. Using an application through their Google Drive called Mindomo, students are organizing their questions, sources, and research collaboratively. So what are we going to do with all this information? Well.. we've got BIG plans. Mrs. Jorgensen, in English class, is working alongside us building Science knowledge through literacy centres AND is guiding students through another piece of this project. Each inquiry must include a "call to action".... an invitation for the public to DO SOMETHING about the problems (health / environmental) students find during the inquiry process. This is going to to turn into a giant art installment right outside the KHPS office. We can't wait for you to see it!
