We are Researchers!

Our nonfiction unit is in full-swing and we are learning how to answer our "I wonder" questions by looking up the answers in books and on the computer. We started by learning about dental health and then an "I wonder" question prompted us to look at animal teeth. We read books and sorted pictures of animal teeth. The class noticed that the type of teeth animals have is related to what they eat. Carnvivores have sharp teeth, herbivores have flat teeth, and omnivores have both. We made a tree map to show our findings.
We looked up information about animal diets using World Book Kids and organized it in a chart.
Meanwhile, other students chose topics they were interested in and were writing down what they learned and what they wonder.
