Science Inquiry

Hello Everyone!

We are now jumping into our Science Inquiry on Energy.  We are working on drafting a general inquiry question and will post that shortly.

Here are some of our learning goals for the unit:
* Learn about how we use energy and resources;
* Look at ways to save or conserve energy;
* Understand how energy can be changed;
* Know what renewable and non-renewable sources of energy are.

At home, here are a few websites that you can visit to help you gain some background knowledge about the different forms of energy.
