\t\t\t\tAs we are getting closer to the end of the school year, we try to help students reflect on their learning experiences from our year-long \u201cHow the World Works\u201d unit of inquiry. KZE students observed changes over time.<\/p>\n
They noticed that:
\nAda: \u201cThe snow is gone. Everything was white and now everything is green.\u201d
\nAlex: \u201cAnimals changed too. Because when they grow, they get bigger\u201d
\nAlexandra: \u201cThe temperature changed. Then the ducks go away and come back.\u201d
\nAltai: \u201cThe pond is not frozen. The ducks came back.\u201d
\nEmmi: \u201cIt is warmer so the worms can come out. There were no worms when there was snow.\u201d
\nGabi: \u201cThe seasons changed. It caused the temperature changed.\u201d
\nJulia: \u201cWe changed too. We grow.\u201d
\nMali: \u201cThe weather changes and gets warmer so all the animals and birds come out.\u201d
\nNick: \u201cI noticed that houses get older and it can change too.\u201d
\nSafir: \u201cI noticed it is warmer and when it is warmer everything grows like the flowers, trees, grass, bugs and birds.\u201d
\nSoeun: \u201cI see that before we were bit smaller and now we are bigger.\u201d
\nTim: \u201cWe changed. Last time we were small. Now all of us grew.\u201d
\nTomasz: \u201cLeaves changed colors.\u201d<\/p>\n
After sharing our noticing, students tried to make connections between earth\u2019s cycles\/changes and behaviors in living things. They can explain what living things do when changes occurred.<\/p>\n\n
KZE students demonstrated their understanding of an earth\u2019s cycle with drawings and writings.<\/p>\n\n
As we wrapped up this unit, KZE students demonstrated a better understanding of how the Earth’s cycles\/changes influence the activities of living things.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
