Division 5 has been learning about properties as one part of computational thinking in Applied Design Skills and Technologies (ADST). A couple of weeks ago, Ms. Gammon took us over to SFU to identify and compare some local plants and learn how they were/are used by Coast Salish people. Students had to examine the properties of the plants in order to identify them.

As part of our morning provocation discussions, we have been using a game called “Figure It Out” to practice identifying properties and giving evidence to back up our thinking. The great thing about this game is that there is no ONE right answer!

Check out these slides below for a fun discussion at home.
