Why Should I Use This?
This is a great way to add some more inquiry to your science units in a manageable and age appropriate way. Your young learners will see you modelling the questioning process and the board provides many entry points for easy differentiation. Think about the range of discussion you can have from a simple photo! The photos are great for ESL students and students with low reading levels as they can jump right in to the conversation. I truly hope this board becomes a classroom staple for you and your students!
How Do I Use This?
The beauty of this item is that it is easy, easy, easy! Once the board is up, students can add their wonders and their wows using sticky notes. To introduce your unit the students could look at the photos and make some predictions, do a few turn and talks, or note ideas on sticky notes. As you are working through the unit, be sure to refer back to the board (example: “Today we learned about struts and ties, when you have a chance today, look at our wonder wall and see if you see any examples of struts and ties in the photos. Why are they located where they are? Be sure to note your thinking on a sticky note if you find some!). If you have an early finisher, encourage them to find some new wonders or maybe even choose another person’s wonder to investigate and answer.
BONUS: Your admin will LOVE that this board is inquiry based, bright, real life focused, AND interactive. This bulletin board will NOT become ‘wallpaper’ in your room, because your students will be constantly adding to it, you will be referring to it, and it will be growing and changing with the advancement of your unit.
