Unit of Inquiry

In the Unit of Inquiry, students shared their fact cards on different aspects of the Solar System and created a fact wall in the class. Taking help of the fact wall and their fact sheets they attempted their first formative task showing their understanding of the Solar System through any medium of their choice. They talked about the solar and lunar eclipse and moved on to the next line of inquiry ‘ways and means of space exploration’. Students played treasure hunt for various objects used in space travel.

UOI

In the Unit of Inquiry, students were introduced to their last unit on the mysteries of the universe. The Trans disciplinary Theme was done through reports based on the strands of the theme and students had to read the reports, write a suitable headline for it and then match it with the strand of the theme. They were also able to identify some more issues that could be looked into through the same strands. They tried their hand at creating the central idea using pictures, words and a video as clues. The concepts and the lines of inquiry were also introduced to them. Prior knowledge assessment was done through ‘Alphabetogories’ and a picture puzzle of the Solar System. Students were introduced to ‘rotation’ and ‘revolution’ and the phases of the moonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWeaQctUp1c‎.
