Questioning Questions

Students observe a natural phenomenon and explore a process for asking varied and interesting questions.

This activity offers an opportunity to engage in inquiry, inviting students to ask questions they can then explore through observation or critical thinking. We begin by taking a group of students through a “curiosity crash course,” beginning with asking questions from observations, then using a question generator to prompt students to ask more varied questions. Students apply the frameworks they learn through this process to future journal entries, outdoor explorations, science experiences, and learning in other disciplines.
