Unit+of+Inquiry

Our previous unit of inquiry was //Where We are in Place and Time,// and we were looking at change and connection through the lens of Ancient Civilizations. Our central idea: //Modern Societies and their customs are influenced by past civilizations//. Our lines of inquiry were
 * The role ancient technologies play in modern society.
 * How historical customs and beliefs are recorded.
 * How modern societies have adopted ancient beliefs and customs.

The learning experiences included mummifying a chicken to understand the process of change and how this has impacted on our world today. We will also visited the University of Wroclaw Museum and met with the resident archeaologist and looking at artefacts from ancient civilizations and looked at how they have changed over time and what the connections are in modern day society.

These are pictures of changing the salt for the first time in the chicken mummy!

We visited the University Archaeological Museum and looked at artifacts from Peru dating back to 1000 BC! It was interesting to see the technology used back then and we compared and plotted the changes that occurred, for example, the axes used then and what tools we use today to do the same thing!
