Upper South Y7/8s
Our Term 2 Inquiry theme was How might we investigate what the world cannot do without?
We began by exploring how might the world work without trees? and how might the world work without the Sun?
Then: We created a combined Upper South Science Inquiry of how might the world work without Bees? We used a process of the Science 5E’s approach. Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate.
After this, we were equipped to investigate our own Science Inquiry Investigations. We presented them to an audience face to face and on Zoom.
Here are our fantastic Science Inquiries!
We would to thank Mr Rogers (Science Teacher by trade) who came and judged. He said it wasn’t an easy decision!
