PYP Unit 1 – Who We Are

For inquiry, we have started our major project for the unit. Students picked a superhero in groups and will be analyzing their skeletal and muscular systems. Each group will also be looking at 1 or 2 more body systems of their choice. For example, the group that picked Dash will also be looking at his respiratory system.

Each group is working on a presentation to show what they have learned over the last few weeks. They are allowed to present in any style they wish.
