Unit of Inquiry: From now until the end of the year we will be working on 2 new units of inquiry titled "Goods and Services" and "Plants and Animals". The central idea to our Goods and Services unit is that people create systems to exchange goods and services. Here is what the students will be inquiring about as we explore this topic: * How people exchange goods and services worldwide. * The difference between wants and needs. * What goods are and how they get to people. * How supply and demand effect what goods are made.
The central idea to our Plants and Animals is that organisms require basic needs to live. Here are the topics we will be inquiring about as we engage in this unit: * Identifying the needs of growing plants and animals. * Changes that occur as plants and animals grow. * Comparing the basic needs of plants and animals. * Understanding the structures and functions of organisms.
