From Belinda: Ways to Use your I Wonder Circle Poster
Monday, September 20th, 2010___
Teaching Tip: Using the I Wonder Circle As a Reference Tool
___
Have students cut out and attach this reduction of the “I Wonder” Circle poster to the inside front cover of their composition books. This would provide students with a quick reference to the concept of doing science…and provide them with the vocabulary to communicate with their peers about scientific inquiry.
