The intersection between object-based and inquiry-based learning

down arrow right arrow

Inquiry is an active learning process that allows students to investigate questions linked to curriculum standards and specific teaching objectives. When an inquiry process is enhanced by using objects, we can cover specific concepts while supporting students' curiosity through observation and reflection. Participants will be exposed to three lesson plans that focus on specific ODE social studies, SEL and ELA learning standards, and that use objects as the main inspiration for inquiry. Together we will discuss the effectiveness of this approach.
