5G have blasted off into space for Term 2.
Our SCIL* topic for this semester is Space. We are researching, investigating, asking big questions, evaluating and reporting back on our findings. So far we have researched different countries on our own planet to compare things such as time zones and seasons; looked closer at the relationship between the Earth, Sun and Moon and constructed a fact file about the different planets in our Solar System.
There are still so many exciting things we are going to investigate, such as: the space race and space exploration, debunking different myths about outer space and can other planets sustain life? One of the main things we are learning to do in SCIL this term is to ask inquiry questions, big questions that interest us. These questions guide our research and what in particular we want to learn about Space. It is set to be a fun an exciting term as we continue to explore our Solar System.
