How the Brain Learns
Inquiry-based learning allows students to ask their own
questions, grapple with important problems, analyze multiple
perspectives, and tackle challenging content. This, in itself,
defines science. Students become not only engaged in their
learning but also learn deeply, promoting conceptual
understanding. This strand will provide strategies, tools, and
successful models for teachers and anyone involved with
science education.
