Grade 4 - Inquiry Research

The inquiry wall is starting to fill up in Grade 4.  The students have been taking this unit into their hands by formulating all the questions and doing all the research.  I have just been helping them organize and prioritize their thoughts.  

They've come up with many questions, but we decided that the best starting places would be to think about "What is energy?", "What are the forms of energy?" and "How do humans use energy?"  We've also been starting to get into "What is electricity?" and "How do we get our electricity?" as they come to conclusions and sort out info about the first guiding questions.

Here they are at hard at work using books and videos to research!
