In Grade 4, to celebrate our Brain Awareness Week, students researched an inquiry question of interest to them. They then researched this question using text and online resources, decided how they wanted to share their findings, and presented a final piece using a format of their choice to an audience of their choice. These projects were all very different but stemmed from our same Driving Question: How can we as Grade 4 students inquire into how the brain helps us live our lives? Here are two examples of the finished presentations.
Emily and Claudia's Prezi about dreams and the brain.
Marina's RSA animate about sleep and the brain.
How does our brain help us live our lives everyday?
Wow!That animation was really impressive, Maybe on the next project I will do one.But I might need a few tips.

Dear Ms. Rees,
I really enjoyed watching Marinas RSA animate and I was wondering if we could all do one in class? Emily and Claudia's Prezi was amazing! I loved it! Have a good evening,
Claire

Dear Marina
This was an awesome way to reflect your learning about sleep and the brain. I liked how you included not only theories such as dream theories but also some fun facts! Isn't the brain fascinating? Thanks for allowing me to watch your presentation - I showed it to Mr Snowden today, and he really enjoyed it too.
Take care,
Mrs Clayton

Dear Emily and Cluadia,
I loved your Prezi. It gave me a lot of information about dreams and made me think about the dreams I have had in the past.
