Tuning In to our Big Question

The Thinking Routine See, Think, Wonder
Tuning In: We are being introduced to our inquiry ‘Why do landforms continuously change?’ See I see… Think I think… Wonder I wonder…




Today as part of our Tuning In – we discussed one of our success criteria's How I have worked like a scientist - developing and using my knowledge, and working together to try to solve problems of erosion."


This is what we thought the role of a scientist was? These are our first thoughts:
As scientists we explore, investigate and critique our wonderings.
Explore materials such as rocks to find answers to their initial questions. (Rachael)
Explore and go deeper into their investigation (Leah, Dani, Anna)
Observe the natural world for example; water, rocks, trees (Hoani and Marcus)
Sometimes talk to experts to find out more about their wonderings (Takunda, Ethan and Leonardo)
Find the topic and inquiry the meaning (Ala, Azhure)
Look and find out different types of websites to find out their difficult questions. (Niamh and Sian)
Use information and display their thinking on graphic organisers and they use chemicals to find out about the natural world for example, rocks (Erika and Clementine)
Explore the new questions and they keep finding new information about anything
They have meetings and discussions and they write articles for science magazines and chapters for science books. (Charlotte, Harry and James)
Use special materials that help them stay in place so they can get a closer look at the rock and see what they have inside. (Diego and Arahi)
Do experiments to find further information (Zavier and Ella)
Research (Teghan and Suliana)
Question themselves (Caitlyn and Madi)

  1. We're looking forward to learning more about erosion from all the scientists in Room 4!
