Units of Inquiry & Learning Experiences
Units of Inquiry & Learning Experiences
Our Units of Inquiry spark curiosity and help students make meaningful connections across subjects. Through interdisciplinary and inquiry‑based learning, students explore big ideas, investigate real‑world issues, and develop strong critical‑thinking and problem‑solving skills.
Learning experiences include hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and opportunities for students to take ownership of their learning. Their journey culminates in community‑based projects, where they apply their knowledge to make a positive impact. This approach supports students as they grow into confident, compassionate global citizens.
6th Grade Health Research and Reliable Information
“6th grade students worked collaboratively in groups to create posters highlighting the importance of health research and using reliable, trustworthy information. Through discussion and teamwork, students explored how accurate research helps people make healthy choices and avoid misinformation. This activity encouraged critical thinking and emphasized the value of checking sources when learning about health topics.”
7th Grade Meal Plan
“7th-grade students collaborated in small groups to design two different meal plans specific to people of varying ages, heights, and weights. By working together, students practiced communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking while applying nutrition concepts to real-life situations. This hands-on activity helped them understand how dietary needs change from person to person and why balanced meals are important for overall health.”
6th Grade Peer Reflection/Feedback
“6th grade students participated in a gallery walk where they viewed their classmates’ posters, wrote constructive feedback, and reflected on the work of other groups. This activity encouraged respectful communication, critical thinking, and self-reflection as students shared ideas, learned from one another, and considered different perspectives on the topic.”
