Week Four: Review blogging from the Flat Classroom. Flat Classroom EdCafe review projects and share your own Flat Classroom project ideas.
Week Three: Let's review our definition of inquiry from TodaysMeet and create our own science inquiry word wall. If we use vocabulary that supports science inquiry, our students will too. We'll be working in small groups today on the Soggy Paper Experiment. You'll find all the necessary resources on my Best Buy Experiment page.
