Student+Question+Books


 * Creating a Big Book of Class Questions **

=Once several lessons have been taught and scientific inquiry has been modeled, students are ready to create a class book of questions for the unit. Each student writes and illustrates a page for the book. The book is prominently displayed in the classroom. =
 * = **Students are welcome to explore its contents and to add questions to their page as they learn ** =
 * **Teacher chooses and addresses questions when appropriate throughout the unit **
 * **Mini labs are constructed to test student ideas **
 * **These labs can introduce/reinforce concepts **
 * **Occasionally students will come across answers while reading the student references book or simply by watching the news **
 * **Not every question needs to be addressed for the book to be meaningful **

**Maintaining a class book of questions is a great way to get students personally invested in the process of scientific questioning to enhance learning. **
