Do your students struggle to ask and develop meaningful and answerable scientific questions? Can they devise a fair test, carry out their investigation and then communicate their findings? 

This program is specifically designed to help students develop their Scientific Inquiry skills, beginning with the art of asking “good” questions, as we seek to engage and empower curiosity in Science. 

Students will build their questioning and observation capacity through experiential learning, undertaking practical activities that implement the steps of the scientific method in a meaningful and relatable way.

Students will

  • Learn how to develop a scientific question
  • Complete an investigation to test their question
  • Make assessments about the quality of their data
  • Consider ways to communicate what they have learned
