While we had conflicting ideas on what's happening to the dead animals over time, we began to think about other things that die, too.
For example, plants die, and so do phones and stars. But phones and stars dying isn't the same as plants and animals dying, because well, phones and stars aren't living things like plants and animals are.
So we think that maybe what happens to plants might happen to animals, too, but we're not really sure. So that's why we started asking some questions about what may happen to dead plants, too.
We set up our Driving Question Board today, and both 5th grade classes came up with some incredible questions. We tried really hard to link our questions to one another, showing we were not only listening to others sharing ideas, but building on others' thinking. Check out our work!
