Indiana Caravan 2011: Your Recipe for Success
Wednesday, January 19th, 2011
Take one class of curious students
Fold in a hands-on, inquiry-based science lesson
Stir in a dash of discovery
And a pinch of observation
Combine all ingredients
The results – we promise – are delightful
(And very low in calories)
Makes a first-rate learning experience
Also excellent when served with
Language arts, math and more!

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.
