FRENCH Nature Scientist Photo of the Week - Scientifique de la nature This resource is intended to spark curiosity and encourage scientific inquiry in your classroom! Each page highlights an ORIGINAL PHOTO that you won’t find anywhere else! Enjoy the beauty of Northern Ontario, Canada - Includes plants, animals, insects, rocks, water, landscapes, birds, reptiles and a domesticated dog and cat:) Without captions or explanations, students can describe their wonderings about each photo. (Je vois… ) what they see (Je pense…) what they are thinking (Je me demande…) and what they wonder How do I use this resource in my classroom? I display one photo per week and ask students to share their thinking with their peers. I usually do not indicate right/wrong or correct them at this point as I want students to be comfortable sharing their thoughts and interpretations. This usually leads to further research to answer our questions and wonderings throughout the week. You may wish to have students form small groups or centres to extend their learning by researching the answers to their questions and/or verify their thoughts and ideas. You will be surprised how far one photo can lead down the path to discovering many other amazing things about nature! As the year progresses, questions and wonderings will evolve as students learn from past discoveries of the weeks prior. There is no particular order for presenting each photo. This product includes enough photos to last the entire year with one photo per week (plus a few extras to pick and choose from) for a total of 50 pictures with prompts! You may prefer the GOOGLE SLIDES VERSION! I hope you enjoy using this resource in your classroom as a springboard to many science discoveries:) Photo Credits @fireguy1351 https://www.instagram.com/fireguy1351/ ___________________________________ Copyright 2021 © Peg Swift Permission to copy for single classroom use only.
