INQUIRY LEVELS

Heather Banchi and Randy Bell (2008) suggest that there are four levels of inquiry-based learning in science education:

1-Confirmation (demo) inquiry توضيحية عروض2-Structured inquiry المبني االستقصاء3-Guided inquiry هUالموج االستقصاء4-Open inquiry المفتوح االستقصاء

INQUIRY OR NOT?

The first question to ask when determining whether an activity is inquiry based is, “Are students answering a research question through data analysis?

ACTIVITY: WORK IN GROUPS

Sit in groups according to your subject. Each group has three inquiries. Identify each type. Each group present their thought.

ACTIVITY: THINK PAIR SHARE

Sit in groups according to your subject. Work in pairs. Each participant choose one standard and

plan for this standard there different types of scientific inquires.

ACTIVITY: DENSITY , FLOATING AND SINKING

Work in groups. What is the type of this activity? Use the scientific inquiry standards to

evaluate the activity? What changes you have to do in this activity

to put in higher level?

SCIENTIFIC ENQUIRY STANDARDS GRADE 10 A

1 Use methods of scientific investigation

2 Know how scientists work 3 Process and communicate

information 4 Handle equipment and make

measurements

THINK In the previous activity :1-Is there a question to be investigated or not ?2-Is there a prediction or not ?3-is there a testing for the prediction or not ?4-Is there an analyzing of data or not ?5-Is there a clear conclusion related to the prediction gives a clear information can be presented for a lay person or not?6-Is there a handling with equipments or not ?7-Is there measurements or not ?8-Is there an assessment for the measurements or not ?9-Is there a graph drawing or not ?10-Is there variable controlling or not ?

METHODS OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION Cover a range of skills relating to scientific

investigations.

1)planning skills such as:

A) Turning a question into a form that can be investigated,

B) Controlling variables,

C) Making preliminary investigations and allocating tasks to a team.

2)Intellectual skills such as:

A) Making predictions

B) Drawing appropriate conclusions,

3)Observational skills including :

A)Assessing accuracy

B)The ability to adapt skills to new situations.

C)The ability to find, assess and make use of secondary information.

HOW SCIENTISTS WORK

1)The development of scientific ideas;

2)How these have accumulated over time,

3) How scientists work collaboratively and how they make their work known and open to challenge.

4)Allows, in the higher grades, some reflection on the nature of scientific knowledge, such as the distinction between scientific activity associated with the painstaking development of an existing paradigm and that associated with the replacement of a paradigm with a new one, and also the importance of refutation in this process. This section begins in Grade 7.

PROCESSING AND COMMUNICATING INFORMATION

1)The steps following scientific observation.

2) It promotes the development of a variety of mathematical and graphing skills

3) Encourage students to develop ways of presenting information in a clear manner, so that it can be easily understood by the lay person.

4) Intellectual skills such as evaluating predictions and evidence and classification of observations and data also fall under this heading.

HANDLING EQUIPMENT AND MAKING MEASUREMENTS

1) Allows a progressive development of the manipulative skills necessary for a practical approach to science learning.

2) Also cover specific skills related to the use of scientific instruments such as the microscope and the oscilloscope and equipment that uses ICT techniques in the collection, logging and processing data.

THE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY COULD BE :

1-Drawing a graph 2-Solving a problem3-Practical activity with controlling the variables 4-Constructing an electric or electronic circuits 5-Using information and data to investigate the

answer of a question starting with a prediction.6-Making measurements and assess the

accuracy 7- Dealing with equipment that uses ICT

techniques in the collection, logging and processing data.

FEED BACK

Thank you for opinion. Remember you have to submit your first

assignment next week.1. one reflection on previous workshops.2. one reflection on your work in your

classroom accompanied with lesson plan, evidence from students’ work, report from your coordinator or academic vice principal.
