What are you wondering? It’s a simple question, however when it is asked in a classroom it immediately changes the ownership of learning. STEAM classrooms across San Diego Unified are creating student-driven, inquiry learning environments. Teachers are stepping back and creating experiences for students to explore and wonder.
First graders at Silver Gate Elementary are exploring plants in the STEAM Life Science unit called The Power of Plants. Students watched a seed grow into a plant in a bean-time lapse video and were invited to share their wonderings with the class.
