🌿🌳🔭🌍 Nature is Phenomenal 🌿🌳🔭🌍
Come join us to take a close look at the things we see in nature everyday and question everything about it. The teacher will show short video clips of a phenomenon observed in nature that the class will watch and discuss. Through an inquiry based approach students will list everything they notice about the phenomenon and everything they wonder about it to unearth possible explanations. For example; one class may view a video of a road near a body of water that shows seaweed, shells and dead sea life laying several hundred feet from the water. Students will first identify everything they notice about the video/picture and list questions that they may be wondering about it as well. Then the group will discuss possible causes for this, guided by the teacher they will come up with a likely reason. Students will receive a phenomenon planning document to print out and complete further research independently after the class if they wish.
