Term+2+2013

Term 2 2013..... A very exciting time for us as we start the learning and investigating for our upcoming science fair in term 4 this year!

Our key understandings this term are science/technology based and we are already in the process of designing a city on paper which we will then build out of found materials working in a group. We are finding out about properties of materials in science so this links in well with deciding what materials will work best for our cities and why. We are also exploring chemicals and their reactions when you mix them. Alongside this we have been finding out what real scientists do such as form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment and write up their findings with a conclusion. Therefore the inquiry unit lends itself well to information/report/explanation writing. Watch this space for updates and photos about our learning!
