Mathematics: We are exploring how we interpret data from graphs and tallies.
Unit of Inquiry: Our final unit of inquiry is How the World Works. Our central idea is: ‘Change can occur through human activity and natural processes’. This week we will be inquiring into solids, liquids and gases, and heat energy.
