The Earth's Surface & Rotations



This week the class started their new inquiry unit on The Earth's Surface and Rotations.

Students explored all the things they know about the topic then came up with some questions they would like to find our the answer to.

These included:

Why does the earth spin?

How earthquakes and tsunamis happen?

What is inside the earth?

Over the remainder of the term students will investigate these, and many other, questions and find answers to them. 

This week our focus will be on:
  • How the earth's rotation causes night and day.
  • What the earth is made of.

Post questions and discoveries on our Wall Wisher!!

If anyone has any more ideas on what they would like to know about the Earth or if you discover something new please post it on our Wall Wisher Below.

Remember to change the name of the person posting a note from anonymous to your first name so we know who is posting.
