PS+Inquiry+Question+Group

Working Group "What about Inquiry or problem solving in an online environment?" We discussed some implementation and management issues. We decided that we need 3 or 4 chem/physics inquiry tasks that are common to us all so we can use those to work out the issues of how as a community we increase our collective skill levels at implementing inquiry...fostering inquiry in...our online classes. WE will possibly use one physics task on ramps from Maria AVERKAMP. Likewise she suggested a BTU project where our students across the state test a hard, soft and unknown wood and measure the BYUs. We are also kicking around one on density. We agree that questions, claims, evidence and reasoning need to be a central feature of any data sharing plan from student to student. We will address the implementation issues in process.
