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.

Science Words and Their Definitions

For inquiry we learned about science.  First we talked about what we think makes a good scientist.  Then we had to find definitions.  We had to search up what these scientific words mean.

First I went on the mat and watched a video and answered these questions to get Dojo points.

Next I went off and wrote what these scientific words mean.

Lastly I checked with a teacher and blogged.

I enjoyed doing this task. What I did well was answer the questions. I need to improve on finding the definitions.
