The following is an example of an inquiry science project, created by 27 grade 7 students in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The students had been given the following questions and have been asked to find information, pictures, videos, podcasts and even widgets that answer the questions. Students will then post a digital method of presenting what they learned. Moreover they will create a mini-lab-lesson that they will lead with the class. Enjoy!
