Tuning In - Connections to the Environment

As we lunched our first Unit of Inquiry,  Connections to Our Environment, students TUNED IN to characteristics of living things. We asked ourselves: How do we know that something is ALIVE? Our class took a few NATURE WALKS around campus to find answers to this question. We also began to build our identity as researchers by using our SENSES to gather information. In the end we determined 6 traits that make living things... Living things FEED, BREATHE, GROW, MOVE, SENSE, & REPRODUCE.
