What does inquiry-based learning look like?
Black Box Slideshow
Rubrics for Assessment

Science Notebook task Draw a graphic organizer
that expresses your vision of science instruction
and learning. Consider what elements are
critical to maximizing student learning.
7
Constructivist Approach

• Experience, through inquiry, leads to
  conceptual
• development.
• Foster critical consideration of plausible
  alternatives to initial understanding.

3) Active involvement in both the manipulation
of materials and consideration of their
own ideas, and those of others.

Constructivist Approach
4) Children learn by assimilation and
accommodation.
5) Hands-on experience is no guarantee of
learning. 6) Heads-on learning is required
for deeper understanding.
