Central Idea:

How the world works

Understanding the way materials behave and interact determines how people use them

Lines of inquiry:
Characteristics and uses of materials Changing properties of materials Manipulation of materials for specific purposes

Transdisciplinary skills:
Self management skills Research skills
Learning engagements
Library collaboration: Focusing on research skills Non fiction books -Children will be conducting Science experiments such as making goop and jelly. Some secondary teachers will conduct Science experiments for us too! -Children will learn about safety during experiments and begin to record their observations and conclusions Monday 15th April: Clay artist session with Susan Eddy
Please let us know if you have childappropriate resources such as videos, books, or photographs to share with us. If you have personal experiences that you feel might help us with our inquiry, we would also love to hear your story.

Mathematics

-Use materials to add and subtract two numbers. -Understand that aAributes of real objects can be compared and described (longer, shorter, heavier, empty, full, hoAer, colder). -Use the language of mathemaEcs to compare quanEEes in real-life situaEons, for example, more, less, rst, second. -Use a Venn diagram or a tree diagram to sort materials

Language
Students
will continue to engage in various literacy activities which will give them opportunities to practice reading, writing, and oral language skills.

-Get Reading Right - Reading books on materials and science -Report writing - Researching for information about materials - Guided reading
