Grade 2 teachers asked if the science department could collaborate on creating a day of examining water, so I volunteer, I couldn’t pass working with the little tykes from G2! In order to make the lesson reflective of PYP, here is what I planned for the day.
Thinker:Examine Water under Microscopes

| Inquiry: Which filter system is best?
Students will design a filter from three different materials (cotton, rocks, and sand) that turns muddy, salty water into drinkable water. They will have to determine which filter is best for obtaining drinking water. |
The little critters were so inquisitive and of course absolutely wonderful. Collaboration between departments and sections is always an enjoyable affair. Memories below:
