Engaging in a Little Inquiry in the Wonder Room

The great thing about fourth grade is that the more we learn, the more we realize how much there is to learn!  And, the Wonder Room at Oakland Elementary is the place to go when you want to discover new things.

First, we checked outall the interesting parts of the room. 

Then we got to work.

We were in 4 groups that traveled around to four different investigations.      

Refraction makes this pencil in water appear broken.  It's an optical illusion!
