Inquiry Based Learning: The Stars
I would engage the children with a prompt appropriate to their age group such as a story, video, photo etc. We would have a class discussion of various facts the children know about space and the Stars.
I would ask the children to make mind maps of everything they know about the stars and have a group discussion on the topic once everyone had completed their mind maps.
As we have access to technology in our school, after making a list of things we would like to find out, I would assign the children with the task of adding to the mind maps with information they find out online.
We would come back together as a class and share our findings. The children could continue to work on this with a visit to local library and research further with books about space and the stars.
