What did you learn today?
We went to Whispering Woods to discover more about what is effecting the trees. We also noticed it on a coniferous tree.
How did you show what you learned?
We brought various tools to start gathering information about the substance. Such as, tape measures, magnifying glasses, compasses, plastic gloves, petri dishes, toothpicks and collection containers. Once back in class, we looked at the substance under a microscope. It looks like red/pink crystals. We also recorded our observations and new questions in our Investigator Google Doc - Ask me to see what we've found out so far.
What do you need to learn next?
We think we need to head to Nose Hill to see if any of those trees are showing signs. We also want to check the trees at our houses.

Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We received our Sky Science quiz back today. Some of us did not receive the results we would have liked.
How did you show what you learned?
We had a conversation about why the test did not go as planned. 1) We realized that with PAT questions, there are things you can't study for. 2) We realized that even though this was a science quiz, it also tested our reading comprehension skills. and 3) We realized that some of us experienced test anxiety and felt that we didn't perform to the best of our ability.
What do you need to learn next?
We are practicing how to write multiple choice questions. We are using a strategy to eliminate the definitely wrong answers. We are reviewing how to think critically about what we read and ask ourselves questions to ensure we understand what we have read. Some of us are bringing home the question booklet to review our answers.
