During our How the World Works unit of inquiry, our class investigated how shadows work. As part of our inquiries, we asked our buddies to help us trace our shadows at different times during the day. During this activity, Daniel clarified his theories about why shadows change as he observed the sun going behind the clouds and the sun changing position in the sky at different times in the day.
Daniel chose this work for his portfolio because: "I liked tracing the shadow. I liked seeing my shadow."
Ms. Alison agrees that our "How do shadows work?" class investigation represents some of Daniel's best work during our How the World Works unit of inquiry. Daniel's ability to form questions and reflect on and revise his theories guided our work as a group and allowed him to play a leadership role in our inquiry.
