Kindergarten Trout Questions
Our science curriculum is based on the inquiry approach to teaching science. This approach encourages children to learn by asking questions and observing, forming questions, designing experiments and researching. This approach excersises and strengthens critical thinking skills, gives the children practice with making observations without jumping to conclusions, and also allows children to be active participants in the process of discovery which gives them ownership over their learning.
The Holly Room posed a series of excellent questions about the trout last week during their visit to the Computer Lab. Click on the movie below to see what the kindergarten students are wondering about (requires Quicktime).

I think this is a terrific project. I love the kids questions and their artwork as well. Can we get the 8th garders to comment to their buddies about their trout blog?

These are great questions! If you learned the answers, maybe you could post the answers on this blog, too?
