For inquiry we learned about different scientists. The scientist I chose was James Watt because he is one of the most famous engineers in the world. First I did a jamboard and answered the questions about what I think a scientist does. Next I did the task. The task was to write a profile of any scientist so I did James Watt and what you read above is everything I found out.
I enjoyed doing this task. What I did well was the jamboard. I need to improve on choosing a better scientist.
