The excitement they showed was similar to the excitement they have when sharing their own personal favorites outside of school. 



Students were presented with a phenomenon with water, a candle, and a glass. They were so excited to try to figure out why the water filled the cup when the candle was lit and covered with the glass, demonstrating atmospheric pressure and how the temperature affects the pressure. ]]> 2020-10-18 20:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emilie_lejeune/t1mvw5evvjeni4t5/wish/839187003 emilie_lejeune https://padlet.com/emilie_lejeune/t1mvw5evvjeni4t5/wish/839193472 One successful use of the inquiry method was through our Novel Engineering Challenge.
