Questioning for Inquiry

Science Questioning

Guide Students to Use Process Skills
what do you notice? Observation
What do you think will happen

Questions to Focus Students
how would you describe the effect?

Questions to Challenge
what do you think is going on here?
what did you find out from this experiment?

Draw a line of learning and chose a question from above to help your students.

Wait time: give it to them, but don't OVERLY
What to do when they are waiting you out:
repeat the question
ask if they understand
would you like me to come back when you have had a chance to think about the question
Allow students to write the answer in their science notebook.
