Inquiry Labs Bundle - Differentiated Inquiry Labs for Middle School Science

This is the ultimate labs bundle for middle school science teachers. The 100+ inquiry labs are designed to take the focus off of labs preparation and put it back into teaching.

*** GROWING BUNDLE - PLEASE READ ***

The inquiry labs bundle is a growing bundle. This means that not all of the labs are complete yet. The benefit of buying a growing bundle is you can download the labs as they are completed and pay the lowest price possible. All completed labs are noted.

What's Included in each Inquiry Lab:

-Teachers Resources Pages - prep time, standards/objectives, teacher directions, materials, and additional resources.

-Dependent Student Lab - A complete lab. This level is written with a combination of procedural instructions and inquiry questions. They are moderately student-centered with guided inquiry questions throughout the lab. Suggested for on-level learners.

-Modified Student Lab - A complete lab. This level provides the most structured lab experience. The lessons may eliminate parts of the lab and change the questioning to include sentence stems or multiple choice questions. Suggested for learners with modifications.

-Independent Student Lab - A complete lab. This level is the most student-centered experience. Suggestions are made for the students to get started, but most of the decisions will be student-centered. The students will be responsible for most aspects of the lab and will have the least guidance. Suggested for advanced learners.

- Answer Keys - suggested answer keys for the labs

- CER Conclusion and Reflection Questions - Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning statements along with 3 reflection questions per lab.
