Social Studies | Inquiry Project
Students have been working hard to learn about the Mavericks, the extraordinary people who helped shape Alberta. They are working in pairs and small groups with students from Ms. Nielsen's class. Every group, should use Google Drive to share information between the group members and with their teachers. Also, it means that they can further their learning researching about their Maverick at home. Below are some recommended websites for their research:

Kananaskis in the Classroom: Flow Factor
On land, in air and on the ground, the water cycle is everywhere. But something is happening to the water! Join a curious fish, a hungry heron, a gnarly goat and many others, as they try and fight the evil forces of Professor Pollution in their quest to save fresh water!
During the performance and discussions, students learned about the importance of water and how the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth works.
