Creating Inquiry Labs

In the lab, scientists often must think creatively to solve problems and come up with solutions. It is a skill that young children have inherently to help them understand the world around them. How can we as educators provide opportunities for students to develop their own experiments within the classroom setting and tap into that child-like sense of wonder we’ve all experienced? This course will delve into the path from “cookbook” labs where students follow a step-by-step procedure to labs that are written by, conducted by, and analyzed by students: the inquiry lab.Teachers will develop and adapt their own experiments and activities to be used in their classrooms. Applicable to teachers of any subject/grade level.
