questions to investigate by experimentation
How do elementary science teachers use inquiry to develop students knowledge of scientific
ideas? ✔✔Teachers trust students to learn by providing time to think on their own
A 6th grade teacher wants students to understand the relationship between inquiry skills and the
scientific process. They are to observe worms on dry and moist towels for 20 minutes, record
their observations, and predict of worms prefer dry or moist conditions. How can the students
achieve this objective? ✔✔Students can apply what they learned to make predictive claims
Which science learning activity describes the elaborate component of the 5E model?

making observations about magnets interacting with various metal and metal objects
A teacher wants to maximize scientific inquiry during a unit on health care. To impact learning
and processing skill building, the teacher accepts an offer from a medical doctor to work with the
class. How can the teacher include multiple science process skills during instruction? ✔✔After
the doctor shares highlights from her career, have students explore medical related topics, create
if then statements, design and test experiments with the doctor's help and share the results with
the class
