Within this 55 page packet, is a complete 4-6 week bundle of engaging lessons and fun inquiry-based science activities to support the International Baccalaureate's PYP theme of How the World Works with the central idea of how changes to the Earths atmosphere are affecting our weather conditions today. The different perspectives surrounding Global warming are investigated too.

I have included the key concepts that each activity is built around: causation, form, connection and responsibility.

I have designed this for my 5thgrade class and the New Generation Science Standards for science. It can of course be adapted to suit 3rd, 4thand 6thgrades too.

This trans-disciplinary unit includes hands on science experiments, research activities, creative writing and reading activities all tied together with the skill of collaboration and cooperation.

The unit of inquiry culminates with a summative assessment where the children have to create Public Service Announcement using a form of multi-media technology.

If you are an IB PYP teacher, you may also be interested in my other complete units of inquiry in my Teachers Notebook shop.I have 6 to date.

Please do let me know your experience with this unit so that I may continually strive to improve my work for you.

Thanks for looking!
