Inquiry

Inquiry (term 1) For Term 1, our inquiry is about light, sound and scientist. We’ve been tuning in, finding out and sorting out. In tuning in stage, we wrote down what we already know about light and sound on the smart board. After a week, we’ve learnt heaps of things about our inquiry topic and did a lotus chart. On our lotus chart we wrote down what we learnt and what we would like to find out more about. In our finding our stage, we’ve been looking at optical illusions and studied about eyes, ears and scientists. Optical illusions are pictures that trick our minds. In our action stage, I’ve been studying about the human ear. There are nine parts in the human ear, pinna, ear canal, ear drum, hammer, anvil, stirrup, cochlea, auditory nerve and semi-circular canals. The human ear can be divided into three parts, outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
