Key aspects of teaching science through

inquiry (for teacher)

• Organizing the classroom
  
  
  • the rooms where science takes place must be set up to make
  
  
  
  

hands-on investigations in groups possible

• Encouraging collaborative work


• Asking productive questions
  
  
  • The questions that teachers ask play a very important role in
  
  
  
  

teaching through inquiry. Good questions move the work forward;

less good questions are unlikely to do so.

• Using students’ prior experiences and ideas
  
  
  • Communicating and discussing their ideas is just one way of
  
  
  
  

helping students to more scientific explanations
