MYP in Science


MYP is happening at Village!  I recently walked in on two sixth grade classes having a debate around the essential question: Man kind vs. mother nature.  Are we friends or foes?
Concepts – interactions, change
Students researched a variety of sources to find information on how weather affects us positively/negatively.  The students worked in pairs to defend a particular topic.  Some topic choices included: when we try and control mother nature negative things occur, we need mother nature to survive, while natural disasters harm us they can also help us, etc...
