    Erika,

    in this course we are specifically referring to the Curious Minds ESERO Framework for Inquiry. Using that framework, your suggested lesson plan for a 2nd class works really well.

    Children will engage with an interesting scenario as a prompt: “What would it take to live on Mars”

    They would then wonder and explore “How would we obtain water and oxygen? What would we eat? How would we protect ourselves from radiation?”

    They can define their own starter question based on their interests and use secondary resources to investigate. If you would rather treat this as a design and make, then they can explore what is needed,  plan a Martian habitat, make it and then evaluate their making.

    Or they could Share: Interpreting the data / results.

    And, as you have stated, reflect on their learning.
