Group 2- Inquiry

Group 2 did an awesome job today. I loved their inquiry lesson!!! I love that the group create a review sheet of the characteristics of the inner planets. (moon, craters, hot, cold, volcanoes, life, liquid water, frozen water ) with check marks in each box that applied to each planet.  I like how the students had the opportunity to be scientists and use the scientific method to explore what's in the bag. The group did a great job modeling how to make predictions about whats in the bag. They used telegami - Alien Fred to introduce the topic-The sun blew up and he can't see what planet he's on.

The students had to use the scientific method steps to be a scientist and solve problem.

They handed out "Out of this world space book"- each student received a book that has steps of scientific method-Students were put into 4 groups and each group was given a mystery bag

Followed steps of scientific method (feeling bag) and using their review sheet of planets to guess which planet they were given. Then each group went up to the front of the room to share which planet was inside their bag

This group always did a great job splitting their talk time amongst each other!!
