Significance of inquiry as a student centered approach
• “Teaching …using inquiry (AAAS, 1993), involves engaging… in the kinds of cognitive processes used by scientists when asking questions, making hypotheses, designing investigations, grappling with data, drawing inferences, redesigning investigations, and building theories and revising theories.” (Crawford, 2000, p. 934)

Inquiry ApproachesInquiry Approaches
• Structured Inquiry: Teacher gives students hands-on problems to investigate as well as the procedures, and materials. Teacher guides students with questions. Students are not informed of expected outcomes. (Teacher role- Supervisor )-Ex: Learning Cycle
• Guided Inquiry: The teacher provides only the materials and problem to investigate. Students devise their own procedure to solve the problem. (Teacher role- Facilitator )- Ex: Project Based Approach
• Open (student initiated) Inquiry: This is similar to guided inquiry, but students also formulate their own problem to investigate. Open inquiry is very similar to doing real science. (Teacher role- non participant team player) Ex: Problem Based Learning

Water Striders’ Microsetae-microscopic hairs- on each leg of Water Strider scored with grooves . This allows the trapping of air bubbles and promotes the “lift” force needed to stay afloat. End shape of legs similar to oars this reduces the penetration of the water surface tension- thus allowing for more buoyancy(courtesy of LiveScience, 2008)

What Does Research Tell Us?What Does Research Tell Us?
• Much debate over what constitutes effective instruction. • Current learning theory focuses on students’ conceptual change,
and does not imply that one pedagogy is necessarily better than another.
• National Research Council: Elements of effective instruction: [How People Learn (2003) and How Students Learn: Science in the Classroom (2005)].
– Motivation (Instigating interest and curiosity)– Eliciting Student’s Prior Knowledge (What do they already know?)– Intellectual Engagement (Meaningful experiences/ activities that
engage students intellectually hands on and minds on where students think about what the data means)
– Use of Evidence to Make and Critique Claims (Nature of science- questioning )
– Sense Making (Making connections)

Standards: The National Science Education Standards (NSES) and Benchmarks for Science Literacy from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) define the content of instruction by outlining what a student should know and be able to do.
Accountability System: It is the district curriculum, usually guided by state science standards, that provides a road map of what content will be taught at which grade level, and how it will be aligned throughout the grade levels. ◦ How this content is organized, presented, and assessed is the
backbone of classroom science instruction. In other words, classroom science instruction is driven, for the most part, by the curriculum map(if existent) the district lays out for teachers.

Some ideas
Incorporating Engineering into the classroom;
Some ideas• Choose meaningful themes within the context of a problem.
For example:– Theme: Bridges; Kites; Parachutes– Problem: (a) What type of materials create the strongest type of
bridge; (b) What bridge structure would be the most stable? (c) Can you fly a kite on a windless day?
• Focus on concepts involved. For example:– Types of Forces; Newton's’ laws of motion
• Research, research and research:– Learn about the history of the theme- provides interesting facts– Learn more about the use of this theme in the “real” world– Research your standards and make connections to generate the
objectives you need to use to teach the theme; In doing so, focus on concepts so you can better generate the problem
