Inquiry Resources Collection Review

Ainet's collection was extremely helpful and beneficial to anyone including teachers and students who want to learn through Inquiry Instruction. These articles also included ideas of how to implement inquiry in the classroom which can also be very helpful for those who are beginning to understand what inquiry is but do not know how to begin implementing it into the lesson planning process. Understanding the "Many Levels of Inquiry" is also important because it addresses how different grade levels use different Inquiry levels; Inquiry is not simply for one subject and one grade level. Inquiry is so broad and can be implemented into any lesson at ay age group to maximize student learning. This article does a fantastic job of provided different articles addressing the variety of characteristics and descriptions of what inquiry, how it works, and examples of it being used. I would definitely refer back to Ainet's collection in the future when I begin using Inquiry Instruction in my classroom.

Sink or Float Review

The articles that you chose for this collection are fantastic to guide you in the creation of your 5E lesson on what sinks and what floats. Not only does this collection contain articles with information about the topic, but it also consists of ideas and various experiments or investigations that could be conducted on the concept being taught. These articles have valuable information about the topic, descriptions, key words, objectives of the lesson, and hands-on activity ideas that I am sure was extremely useful and facilitated the process of creating the lesson plan. With all of this information, anyone can create a detailed 5E Inquiry lesson plan. This collection is beneficial for many other teachers to use when teaching this topic since it contains all the information necessary to conduct a lesson on what sinks and what floats. Overall, I rated this collection 5 stars due to the fact that the resources you chose have a direct correlation to your topic and they are clear and easy to understand. Great job!
