INQUIRY BLOCK

In this space I will post about my investigations during Inquiry Block.

Abi's Visit

Today, Abi came to our school.Abi told us what she does as a marine biologist. She has travelled all the way from America to go to Heron island to search for DNA samples. She is Mrs Knee's daughter.

While on Heron island, Abi will use a submarine to seach the ocean floor. I even made my own submarine. It's made out of real life stuff. I think Abi should use my submarine. Before she left our school, Abi gave us some books and teddys.

The books were called "Elephants Cannot Dance" and "Pigs Make Me Sneeze". The teddys were a pig and an elephant. She even gave us some maple syrup! We gave Abi a present to give to the kinderkids when she returns home. The present is...... can't tell you!

Visit To The Bay

On Thursday 16th July my class went to the bay at manly. We walked there all together. We had to collect things that were not alive like sticks,sea pods and rocks. We also took pictures. I thought it was a good excursion.VISIT TO THE BAY on PhotoPeach

I been investigating my rock. I needed to see what it looked like and feel like. I also did experiments to see if it was hard or soft. My findings are recorded in a Bubbl.us

Rocks Are Really Cool

I discovered that there are 3 types of rocks-igneous,metamorphic and sedimentary. I have these types of rocks in my Animoto

Inside the Earth

I am investigating what is inside the earth. The earth is made out of rock, water and air. The crust is cool and the inner core is really hot and the mantle is warm.
