Encourage Student Exploration

Set students on a path to conduct their own research, gather information, and generate real questions that lead to deeper exploration.

In the science classroom and beyond, we hope for our students to explore genuine questions and inquiries that interest them. 

This resource is a graphic organizer that can be used with students as they generate their own wondering or question, discover potential answers through research, and then consider how their findings might inform future inquiries. 
​
By inviting students to pursue their own questions and answers, this resource can be a tool to support student agency in their own learning.
