Students have brought in all sorts of things for our inquiry table. We have seashells, stories about sea life, a Russian text book about underwater creatures, cute stuffed toys and more!
An Inquiry Table is used to inspire students to learn more about a Unit of Inquiry. Students are free to touch what is on the table and ask each other questions about the many items. The girls feel a connection to the table because each one of them had a role in creating it.
Students have started to take action with our Central Idea: Maintaining clean and healthy oceans can help sustain sea life. These pieces of action are featured on our Inquiry Table.
Some examples of action within our unit:
Lucy brought in her own research on manatees, turtles and crustaceans.
Yuna brought in a mini aquarium and sea monkey eggs with directions on how to create the best environment for them to hatch in.
Olivia created her own educational booklet about coral reefs.
...more action to come!
