How the World Works
February 22nd-April 8th

Central Idea: Change can be investigated through scientific inquiry.

Lines of Inquiry: ​
​The role of scientific inquiry 
How scientists' actions have shaped our world 
How forces change the motion of an object 
Factors that affect earth's weather patterns

Questions that will drive these inquiries...
How do we learn about the world?

How have people changed our world?
What is the relationship between force and motion?
How is motion changed?
What is in air?
How does energy cause changes in weather?
How do we measure wind?


We will find answers through research, experiments, S.O.L.E (collaborative research), and by talking to those around us.

Ending our unit....Where We are in Place and Time

We have really enjoyed this unit on geography and culture. It truly is one of my favorite units to teach as it allows relationships to grow deeper with understanding more about each other and where we come from. Having our families come in to present lessons about their culture (Building Bridges with Books), has not only taught us so much, but helps us to understand perspective and respect for others.
