In science, we were learning about cells and infectious diseases.  Our statement of inquiry is:  Understanding cellular systems and functions, allows humans to avoid the consequences of infectious diseases and prevent global pandemics. We learned that when people get infected by a virus, only the immune system can fight and kill the virus.  We cannot take antibiotics to […]

In science, we are studying about cells and infectious diseases. Our statement of inquiry is:  Understanding cellular systems and functions, allows humans to avoid the consequences of infectious diseases and prevent global pandemics. Learning How to Use the Microscope First, we learned all about the microscope.  We studied the parts of a microscope and then […]

How have technological advances improved weather predictions? Weather is mainly formed by three main factors: temperature, water, and wind.  However, Weather is a complex interaction between many systems.  Predicting the weather can be tricky.  There are weather scientists called meteorologists who study and predict the weather, however, their predictions are not always 100% correct.  Luckily, […]

The Hydrologic Cycle Perhaps you have heard of the “Water Cycle” before.  The water cycle is the natural cycle in which water evaporates from the surface of the earth into the air and then returns to Earth in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail.  The water cycle is also called the “Hydrologic Cycle.” […]

Statement of Inquiry Scientists think methodically using the scientific method to help them make connections and search for patterns or evidence, which in turn, assists them in solving problems more efficiently. This was our first unit in science.  It was about the scientific method. Now that we are finished with the unit, I will reflect […]

Unit Title:  Think Like a Scientist Statement of Inquiry: The scientific method helps scientists make connections and search for patterns or evidence which can be applied towards creating a scientific theory. In science, our first unit of study is called Think Like a Scientist in which students learn the importance of using the scientific method, asking […]

In science, we were learning about human body systems and how they are interrelated.  Then Taiwan had an outbreak of covid-19 cases so we had to start doing our classes on-line.  Our teacher then created a project for us to do a healthy snack cooking show, It teaches people how to make healthy snacks.  Eating […]

In science, we learned about extreme weather.  Each student researched a different type of extreme or “severe” weather condition.  Some students learned about typhoons, others learned about droughts, while others learned about tornadoes and blizzards like the two articles that are featured below.   Students learned about these storms and the damage they cause; where […]

Have you ever lived in a city in which there was a water shortage?  That can be very inconvenient and in some cases, scary or even life-threatening.  In science, we were learning about EXTREME WEATHER.  Students chose different weather conditions to inquire about.  Then each student created his/her own article describing that weather condition.  Below […]
