6. Why Teach Inquiry Science?

7. Questioning Would you like to know why? Have you ever wondered about…?
I wonder what will happen when…?
How will you measure…?
What do you think the answer will be?
How will you record your results?
Why do you suppose…
What can you conclude from the evidence?

8. Inquiry Is Powerful Learning
Students learn science by asking appropriate questions and conducting valid experiments or collecting relative data, not by memorizing steps and facts….
Inquiry allows students to develop a love for science through investigation and discovery. This is how science happens and this is why scientists love science.
Students are naturally curious about the world around them
Creating curiosity first, engages students in content
Synthesizing the information on their own is more powerful than a lecture
Inquiry prepares students to be life- long learners
Inquiry Is Powerful Learning

Tips:
Have a way to keep water warm.

21. Lesson 9
Students will observe salt crystals from petri dishes in lessons 5 & 6
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
A double bubble can be used instead of a Venn diagram. Black paper will help to observe the crystals.

22. Lesson 10 Students will discuss how colors change when mixed.
Students will use chromatography to separate black and green inks.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Colors will separate better if you start with several drops and then add one at a time until colors separate.

23. Lesson 11
Students will design a method to separate and identify an unknown mixture.
Students will test their methods.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Students may need help coming up with a method to separate the mixture.

24. Lesson 12
Students will observe and describe baking soda, water and vinegar.
Students will mix baking soda and vinegar then observe and record results.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Resulting liquid can be allowed to evaporate as an extension

25. Lesson 13
Students will observe changes that occur when an effervescent tablet is put in water in a sealed bag.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Close the bags as quickly as possible to maximize results.

26. Lesson 14 Students will discuss what they know about rust.
Students will observe steel wool.
Students will rinse steel wool with water and vinegar.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Steel wool can be sharp. Cups may get warm

27. Lesson 15 Students will review results of lesson 14
Students will design a recipe for change.
Students will try out their recipe.
Students will record and discuss the results of the activity.
Tips:
Pennies should be 1982 or older to see best results.

28. Lesson 16 Students will share their recipes with the class
Students will try each other’s recipes.
Students will discuss how the activity relates to their lives.
Tips:
Have students create a video or iMovie to share their recipes and what they have learned.

47. A picture is worth a thousand words
A complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image, namely making it possible to absorb large amounts of data quickly.

48. SlidesCarnival icons are editable shapes.
This means that you can:
Resize them without losing quality.
Change fill color and opacity.
Change line color, width and style.
Isn’t that nice? :)
