Oftentimes, we will work with questions that will help you check how much you’ve learned. There are 5 types of questions:

1.RECALL (aka. Remember): Determines whether you have learned the basic knowledge or facts.

2. EXTEND:Determines whether you can organize basic knowledge (ex. compare, contrast, classify).

Warm-Up:List 3 questions you have always had about Earth Science.

3. ANALYZE:Encourages you to apply or interpret what

you have learned (ex. ask questions, design investigations, interpret data)

4. PREDICT:Encourages you to think about what might

happen based on observations; engages you in a new topic that builds on what you already know.

5. SELF/PEER ASSES:Encourages you to take responsibility for

your own learning; for example, activities that require you to think about your or a partner’s progress.

Inquiry: A seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge by questioning.

5 essential features of science inquiry: 1. Engage in scientifically-oriented questions.Scientifically oriented questions:•Always focus on the natural world.•Can be investigated scientifically.•2 groups: ‘why’ questions and ‘how’ questions.

2. Give priority to evidence in responding to questions.Evidence: •Factual information used to support an explanation.•Is observed or measured.•Can be detected with one or more of the five senses: seen, heard, smelled, felt, or tasted.•Can be observed by many people.

Warm-Up:Explain the difference between a Recall-level question and an Analyze-level question.

Reflect:•In your own words, describe inquiry.

•How will we use we use inquiry in our class to learn science?

3. Formulate explanations from evidence.Explanations include:

•Claim: an answer to the original question.•Evidence•Reasoning: justification that links the claim and evidence.

4. Connect explanation to scientific knowledge.Scientific knowledge: the set of ideas about and well-proven explanations for the natural world.

5. Communicate and justify explanation.Scientific communication:

•Makes investigation available to others.•Includes journal articles, web sites, books, etc.
