What is a scientist?

We were learning to make our thinking visible by sharing our ideas about what a scientist is and what they do. For inquiry this term we are learning about CHANGE through Science, so this was a way for us to show what we already know about Science. We were also learning how to create a book using the Book Creator website.

Our learning asset focus for this activity was Whaiwhakaaro/We are thinkers. To be successful, I needed to explain my thinking to others. I think that I did this by creating a book to show my thinking and ideas around what a scientist is and to explain the skills or attributes that I think that a scientist needs.

I found it easy to add content to the page by clicking on the + icon. It was easy to change the text style and size and to add the backgrounds that I wanted for each of my pages.

I found it challenging to think of lots of ideas about the different skills that a scientist would need to use. I also found it hard to complete my book in the time that we had.

Next time I think I need to add some audio to my book by recording my voice so that people can read my thinking or listen to it. I enjoyed using the Book Creator website and seeing the books that the kids in my class made. I think that I would like to use this again to make more books to share my learning.
