Term+1+Uoi

Unit Of Inquiry Who we are? This term in who we are we have done heaps of stuff. We have wrote reflections of our holidays. We took a test on what different smarts we were. We did some projects. We did a project on the brain. The day they started that I had broken my leg so I just started it. We looked at the Inquiry Process and we did some work in science that linked with the cental idea (Who We Are). The brain was the topic. We did lots of studies on it. When we took the Multiple Intelligence I was Music Smart, Interpersonal Smart, Intrapersonal Smart, Logical Smart and Visual Smart. We also did a survey on what we wanted to do for interschool sports. I did the survey but won’t participate because I have my broken leg. I choose soccer as my first choice. The inquiry process has a lot concepts. The first is tuning in. It has some questions asking you What do I know about this topic? All questions like that. The second is Finding out. These questions are like What type of resources could I use? The third is Sorting Out. The questions are like this What information is relevant to my question? The forth is Going further. These are the type of question How might I organise my information? The fifth is Making Conclusions. The questions are like this What is my main point I wish to make? The sixth and final one is Taking Action. The questions are like this What have I learned from this? These were all of the inquiry process. This was the end of my explanation on Unit of Inquiry. This is my Multiple Intelligence Test we took. How the world works?

In how the world works we have looked at this key concept. Humans use their understanding of scientific principles in many ways. In this topic we have tried to get more out of the question. I came up with a couple of questions. Some of them were okay some of them weren’t. We also did 2 posters on how the world works. We had to work in groups and complete the posters. Are group came up with 11 or 10 questions. We also had Mrs Graham come in and showing us some questions and some concepts. The concepts we are using are Function and Causation. This was my explanation on how the world works.

 These are some of my questions on How the world works!!!

Term 2 UOI This term in Uoi we have been stepping in the shoes of the past. We have done 2 different role plays.We did the absolute Monarchy. In the absolute monarchy Noah was the king me and Jackson were the Privy Council then there were the knights the nobles and the serfs. I was happy my king was one of my best friends. After we did that role-play we did a huge assessment. It was on can you use science to improve it? What you had to do was choose a scientific principle and choose what you are going to do. I chose to do Ergonomics on Crutches. The next step was to come up with 5 Function questions and 5 Causation questions. Then you and to make a diagram or model. When I finished I made a poster and a power point on Crutches on Ergonomics. I think it looked really cool. After that we did a role-play on Politics. We had to write a 1 minute speech on our electorate. I did not get voted in sadly. Then what happened was the people who got elected into the electorates became the government for each electorate then what happened was they had to join up with different parties. Like my group the liberals they joined up with independence and family first. Then we battled against the greens into putting bills into the House of Representatives. Then some of the bills that we make got past and some didn’t. I think overall it was very very fun. Our central idea this term on How we express ourselves was The systems for leading and governing people vary within different communities and societies. This term for Inquiry had been a very fun term. This was my reflection on Term 2 Inquiry.
