Hi,
My name is Lorraine and I teach multigrade juniors in a rural school. My favourite Scientific fact is that your brain is constantly eating itself in a process called phagocytosis!!
My Inquiry Based Activity was a series of lessons on Pollination and the Decline of the Bee. Through games and interactive quizzes and activities the learners could understand several reasons why honey bee populations are declining due to predators or limiting factors, and the possible consequences. I used SciShow kids Youtube video to follow the life of a bee.

The children researched plants/flowers that are known pollinators and we planted a selection of these in our sensory garden ay school.
We invited local beekeeper Mr Damian Nugent into our class for a Q&A which was super exciting and informative.
