We use sci inquiry for things like-  Make connections with world situations ·        To encourage more active problem solving approach to learning and thinking ·        To apply math skills ·        Review what is already known in light of experimental evidence ·        Propose answers, explanations and predictions ·        Use tools to gather, analyze and interpret data
