Wandering Wonderers
A few weeks ago my class and I took a walk around the gardens outside of our school. During that walk, we wandered around and wondered about things. They wrote down questions that they had based on things that they saw during our walk. When we came back into the classroom, they thought about their questions and wrote hypotheses for the things they questioned. Of course the next step would be to research and find out the answers to their wonderings. Here are the projects they completed that explore their wonderings:
