Examples of Inquiry-Based Learning Activities

In this video, we delve into the practical aspects of inquiry-based learning, focusing on the activities that fill the gap between initial provocations and final inquiry projects. Using the Wonderwall as a starting point, we explore various classroom activities that engage students in active learning and critical thinking.

We begin with the provocation phase, where students are introduced to new topics through images or real-life objects, prompting them to ask questions and record their observations on a Wonderwall. This activity sets the stage for a dynamic inquiry journey.

Moving forward, we discuss the importance of filling knowledge gaps with well-planned activities that encourage students to discover answers on their own. Collaborative note-taking, task cards, and hands-on experiments are highlighted as effective strategies to promote deep understanding and student engagement.
