The heart of the inquiry model of teaching

# data[].attributes.body
*Inquiry as a model aligns perfectly with the Next Generation Science Standards.

*Start with something intriguing, puzzling or interesting.

*Ask Questions and get student to explore and experiment.

*Guide students but allow them to articulate their ideas.  *Planning questions in advance will help you guide the students towards the concepts you want them to learn.

*Encourage students to formulate additional questions for further investigation,record their ideas and data, and form conclusions based on evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
The elementary educational environment plays a key role in student learning.
Elementary students have the capacity to engage in scientific and engineering practices as they develop conceptual understandings over time.

# data[].attributes.body
Elementary students can and should engage in science within the broader community of science.
There must be adequate time in every school day to engage elementary students in high-quality science instruction that actively involves them in the processes of science.
