Week 5 -- "I Wonder..."

Skill Focus:  Being Curious.  Asking "I Wonder" questions.

Presentation:  Josh gave his presentation on Darwin and the Theory of Evolution.  He did a fabulous job in his research!  Great job Josh!

Lecture:  We talked about Thales and connected the lecture to what we learned in the book we read for today.  Thales was a very curious man and was always asking I Wonder questions

Activity:  Hot Potato!  We had to think of an I Wonder question every time the "potato" came to us.

Book Discussion:  String, Straight-Edge, and Shadow
The book discussion went well.  I think most of the class liked the book and enjoyed learning some of the history behind the math and geometry we take for granted today.  We tried our hands at using string to make a perfect circle -- we need more practice  :-).

REQUIREMENTS:  Congrats to John who passed off memorizing the Characteristics of a Scientist!
