Another IB PYP unit of inquiry. Experiments ! Math fun! Food chains! And inquiry based flipables, foldables, gardening, web quests, and the science goes on and on. This makes you the coolest teacher ever! Kids love inquiry based learning and there are over 70 pages full of hands on inquiry that engages and promotes learning in this complete, interactive science unit of inquiry. I created this for our IB PYP theme of Sharing the Planet. Designed for my 3rd graders, this unit can be used with 3rd -5th grade.

Central idea: Living things are interdependent with predictable cycles and patterns.

Lines of inquiry:

How ocean life is interdependent.

How does the ocean biome sustain the cycle of life?

Responsibility of humans in the cycle of ocean life.

You will find:

•Interactive notebook activities,

•Science experiments that involve hands and eyes and hypothesising.

•Task cards for inquiry based math, literacy and science

•Non fiction literacy articles for reading and writing.

•Collaborative group work tasks

•Formative assessments and homework

•Summative assessment

And much more besides.
