true even though they might not reflect upon the process. Infants begin to make
sense of the world by inquiring. From birth, babies observe faces that come near,
they grasp objects, they put things in their mouths, and they turn toward voices.

questions as they move through the grade levels. In traditional schools, students

answers. Some of the discouragement of our natural inquiry process may come
from a lack of understanding about the deeper nature of inquiry-based learning.

The next thing that you can do is take a look at your daily curriculum. Try and
figure out where you can incorporate inquiry throughout your lessons. Science is
the easiest subject to choose because students are going to naturally have
questions about it. Children like science, but factual information is not very
engaging. Inquiry taps into a child’s natural curiosity and helps them understand
the information better. If your classroom is learning about the life cycles of an
When introducing inquiry, you can guide students toward an essential question.
Once students understand how it works, they can do this step on their own. But
since this is probably your student’s first experience with inquiry-based learning,
it’s OK to lead them toward a question. For this example we are talking about the
life cycle of an animal. Your essential, open- ended question can be, “How do
living things change and grow?” or it can be “How do living things survive in their
habitat?” Either one of these questions will help spark curiosity and get things

read non-fiction text. You may want them to make a presentation or collaborate
with their peers on a project. Whatever you choose now is the time to plan for
these activities. More often than not, the students will lead you to the skills they
need to learn through their questions. This is when you have to be prepared for
anything.
To prepare for your inquiry-based learning lesson, you will need a variety of
resources. You can choose fiction and non-fiction texts, computer programs,
age-appropriate apps, videos, Internet sites, and whatever else will help students

Like any lesson or project that you have students working on, you will want to set
So what does inquiry learning really look like? Students start by expressing their
own curiosity, then they explore, ask questions, and investigate for answers.
While building their knowledge, they continue to ask questions and search for
answers, until they are able to share their knowledge with others.
Inquiry-based learning is a process, and students will shift through the stages of
it as they learn. Once you try it in your classroom, you will see for yourself how
