Who We Are Unit of Inquiry

For their first unit of inquiry, the students in Grade 3 having been inquiring into healthy choices.

The central idea for this Who We Are unit of inquiry is:

The choices people make can affect their health and well-being

The lines of inquiry which are being used to support this unit are:

● What it means to have a balanced diet

● How exercise can affect our body and mind

● Different sources of information to help us make choices

To learn about what it means to have a balanced diet, the students first learned about the different food groups and the nutrients they provide.

Next, they used everything they learned about the food groups to take part in an activity called Who Am I? For this activity, students were all secretly assigned a food item and asked to gather clues to figure out their assigned food item.
