3 minute pause: Inquiry based learning allows students to be more active in their education. It allows them to become more independent in their learning, and gain critical thinking skills. I always thought that to be true inquiry the assignment had to be student driven from start to finish, like a science fair project. I now realize that there can be levels of inquiry, and as the kids develop their skills you can increase the amount of work that the students are responsible for developing on their own. By giving the students a more active role they are more likely to remember what they are learning. It also not only gives them content knowledge, but skills that they can apply to other areas.
