Description: What is inquiry? What does it look like in the early childhood science classroom? What does the learning environment look like that supports inquiry?

This Pre K-2 workshop is designed to help practicing elementary teachers answer these questions. Working collaboratively, participants will develop their understanding of inquiry through investigations, explorations, journal readings, and discussion. We will be looking at the children’s literature that supports the scientific investigations and connecting our explorations to the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Framework
