An Invitation to Full Inquiry

by: BSCS

In the full inquiry experience in this chapter, students will put skills of inquiry together as they think like scientists and apply critical-thinking skills to evaluate new information that they collect themselves. In full inquiry, students assume more direct roles in carrying out open-ended scientific investigations. A successful full inquiry requires students to propose, design, carry out, analyze, and communicate the results of a scientific investigation. As an introduction to the experience, students first identify and analyze a news article that reports on a scientific phenomenon of interest to them.
