  1. Inquiry and Questioning

  2. 5 Essential Features of Inquiry • Learner engages in discipline oriented questions. • Learner gives priority to evidence in responding to questions. • Learner formulates explanations from evidence. • Learner connects explanations to knowledge of the discipline. • Learner communicates and justifies explanations.

  3. How can we get our students to think? (and make their thinking visible) • Move away from Initiation-Response-Feedback Teacher: “Alice, What is the third planet from the sun?” Alice: “Earth” Teacher: “Yes, it is the Earth". • Move toward more student-student and teacher-student discussion • Probing Questions: What do you mean by…? Tell me more… • Challenge Questions: Why does that happen? • Eliciting Questions: • What evidence do you have for that? • How do you explain the trend you see? • What do you think will happen if…?

  4. Practice with Questions Poly-Density Bottle • Shake the bottle while it is still covered and then quickly uncover it and observe for a few seconds—then recover. • Predict what you believe will happen to the blue and white beads when you shake the bottle and then place it on the table. Write out your prediction and explain why the beads will do what you predict. • Shake the bottle and then place it back on the table uncovered and watch it for a few minutes. Write down your observations. • In a minute, I will tell you what substances are in the bottle. Try to explainwhat is going on. What does this have to do with density? • Isopropyl alcohol • Salt water

  5. Questions • At your table, come up with at least one question in each of the categories on your card about the density bottle investigation or content that could extend from it (e.g., solubility) • Probing • Challenge • Analytical • Comparative • Inferential • Evaluative • Write these out on the large paper.

  6. Wait Time • Wait Time I • Wait Time II

  7. Make Student Thinking Visible • “In the context of inquiry, telling students whether their responses are right or wrong focuses them on whether they have the correct answer, rather than allowing them to explore how they are coming to know what they know” (Duschl 2003).
