Project-Based Learning

• -Projects used for learning

• -Finished Products to Present

Example of PBL

• -Students come Up with a hypothesis, Procedure, and solution
• -If, then statement for problem
• -Methods to solve problem
• -Collect Data to Support Hypothesis
• -Finished Product to present Results

Inquiry Learning

• -Student-Centered
• -Guided by Student questions
• -Active learning
• -Collaboration with Peers

Example of Inquiry Learning In science

• -Student/Teacher Poses Question about Traits
• -Students Explore their own traits (ask Questions, Research)
• -Students Explain how they got these Traits
• -Students Determine if this is the same for their Peers
• -Students Reflect on learning Process
