-Let students jump in-enjoy the process and the product (use engineering design process) 
-Students are the center of their learning-ask lots of open-ended questions, work with the students, let them guide
-Teamwork! teachers alike need to model for students creating an environment of productive together 
-Integrate math and science- it adds relevance for students and makes math and science come alive and see purpose of math and science in content areas such as social studies and language arts.

Inquiry: 
a. A surface structure including specific and dissemble acts of teaching and learning. 
b. A deep structure-best way to convey and teach content 
c. An implicit structure made up of group desirable beliefs, attitudes
