UNIT OF INQUIRY

WE ALL HAVE A TALE TO TELL

Our unit of inquiry is "We All Have a Tale To Tell" and my best work is the one that is about the "Russian market". I think it is the best one because it has a message in it and it is to never give up. It is about my family and I were going to go to Russian market to buy the diamonds and the earrings. It was taking ages until we found the diamonds and the earrings and after 3 hours of looking we finally found them.

Our class read a book called "reaching for the stars" and that book was written by 23 year old "Lola Jay". When we finished the book we read another book called "Sword Bird" and this book was written by 12 year old "Nancy Yi Fan".

These books gave me some ideas what to write about and I also learned some similes that I will use for some of my stories. and while I write I always improve my writing skills.



NATURAL DISASTERS

In natural disasters we studied about and much more.
 * 1) earthquakes
 * 2) tornadoes
 * 3) floods
 * 4) hurricanes
 * 5) volcanoes
 * 6) sand storms

At the assembly we did a play about volcanoes and we also made a model of a volcano of tile-grout and we made the volcano erupt!! What we used to make it erupt was baking soda and vinegar. I was mostly studding the earthquakes and I made a report about earthquake and it turned out to be great. after making the report I made a safety book of natural disasters.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

In the unit "what's the matter" we were studding chemical reactions and the molecules we learned that molecules are tiny objects inside water and liquids,gases and ice liquids molecules <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">are not really free but they move all over the place that's why liquids can form any shape.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">liquids
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">gases

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">gases molecules are free that's why gas just goes crazy and the molecules are really fast.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">ice

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">ice molecules are solid and move just move a little bit and that is because ice is frozen.
