The children returned to school excited to see friends and continue their learning. We visited the library and the children independently found books that they thought connected to our inquiry into how "Changes in matter affect our environment". They were able to justify their choice in different ways: "I found it in the Matter section", "the title says....", "the picture shows...", "it is about...". We also recapped on the three main states of matter and after reading "The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors", by Drew Daywalt, we played our own version of the game called "Solid, Liquid, Gas". The children later reflected on what factors can cause matter to change and Ms. Hima collaborated with us to explore how TEMPERATURE can cause matter to change its state. We continued to explore the tools we use to measure and began to think about how we can record our information effectively so that it is easy to understand.
Finally, ahead of our explorations into our next lines of inquiry; The Water Cycle and The ways in which matter affects our lives, we had the ISS Swim Gala 2018. Great timing for Grade 2.
