Unit Of Inquiry
Today in UOI we continued to explore our science fair projects and began our experiments. Poster boards will be coming in the next few days and students will begin adding the information to the boards so that they are ready for Science Fair. We also began the rough draft for our poster boards so that we can be ready to present our information next week. Also in UOI today we continued on our research of scientists and were each tasked with researching a different inventors in history filling out a worksheet with the details of that investor. If this was not done in class it has been tasked for homework. We also began doing research for our "New By-Laws" debate. Students were broken up into two groups - pros and cons - and were asked to add in to the worksheet why it is either a good idea or a bad idea for all outdoor  lights to be turned off by 9pm.
