Inquiry

We did a guided inquiry lab for the bio class. This was to see if light was required for photosynthesis. They were given a few materials and told to design an experiment to determine if light was necessary. Most of them came up with a set-up very quickly. I believe all of them actually came up with the same design (which isn't really surprising since they all had the same equipment). The experiments are all still running and the results will come next week! I think this was a way cool thing to do, and I hope to do more things like that in the future.

  1. That is super cool! It is awesome to see students designing their own experiments. Was this lab done before a lecture on photosynthesis? or will an explanation come after the students' results?
