My teaching partner, Chantelle Davies and I currently teach a combined split grade class of 4/5.  As with most of the work we do, we have discussed and planned for our upcoming science units.  We are currently working on Understanding Structures and Mechanisms.  We have included a brief outline of the lessons and inquiry based learning the students will be doing.  Along with the lessons, we have included some ideas of how to integrate  Web 2.0 tools into the classroom.  The use of these tools has allowed the students to collaborate, communicate, create and to be critical thinkers.  It is our hope that by sharing these ideas with others, by having peek into our classes through blogs and the other tools web tools we use, they will begin to explore ways they can integrate technology into their classes.

Here are our 5 Lesson Plans for Understanding Structures and Mechanisms Grade 4/5 combined.
