Unit of Inquiry
We are starting a new Unit of Inquiry under the theme: How the World Works
The Central Idea is:
People investigate and answer questions by using scientific skills and understanding.
The Key Concepts are:
Function: How do scientists carry out investigations (scientific method)?
Causation: How do we use scientific laws to explain why something behaves the way it does?
Reflection: How do we apply our understanding and skills to new investigations? What do I learn through trial and error?
To begin explore this site:
