Inquisitive STEM

This is a super fun and easy activity for students of a wide variety of ages! Many students won’t have the opportunity to go in person to this museum, so using their online tour system is a great way to engage students in ‘real-world’ science. It is centered in some basic science knowledge of the classification of living things, but other than that is very accessible to most grades. It is a great independent or group task, so can be used for: - An extension activity for quick-working students

A simple, 5 question questionnaire that you can give to any class at the beginning of the school year. It will only take students 5 minutes to complete and gives you a well-rounded snapshot of their views on themselves, school, and how they best learn. It also ensures that your students know that you are here to get to know and support them, just as they are. It's not the most beautiful resource in the world, but it works well for me! Download includes a PDF that has two copies of the question

This is an excellent resource for students who are learning about the Scientific Method and/or the changing of states. It is an in-depth, student-led investigation with prompts along the way to ensure independent work and inquiry-based learning. It can also be easily adapted for other scientific investigations, no matter your content area. Ideal for Middle Year learners who have just been introduced to one or both of these topics. Enjoy!
