Explain: Cook okbook book to Inquiry Proce ocess • Questioning • Avoid answering directly • Student’s Question: “What is the Voltage in a circuit?”, • Teacher’s Answer: “What do we need to determine the Voltage of a circuit?” • Taking data/Experimenting/Analyzing data • Allowing students to come up with alternative solutions or methods to get the same results. • Encouraging active participation • Set clear rules such as: • Must participate for credit, individual participation grades, structure for presenting results, time limits for individual participation within a group.
Elaborate: Cook okbook book to I Inquiry • Each group will have a cookbook sample lesson in either Math, Chemistry, or Biology. • Your task is to conv nvert the cook ookboo ook l less sson into o an inquiry l less sson on. • You will have 10 mi minut ute for this activity • Be prepare to share with your peers.
Elaborate: Biolog ology Cook okbook book t to Inquiry A cookbook lesson where the students are expected to In an inquiry lesson, students are hands on and build read scenarios and answer the same questions repeatedly on previous knowledge through an interactive activity
Elaborate: Biolog ology Cook okbook book t to Inquiry Address essing C Common M Misconcep eptions • Cookbook lessons do not address the misconceptions with evolution and natural selection • Natural selection DOES NOT lead to perfection- it’s best suited in that environment! • This is portrayed when they talk about moving the organisms to different environments

Sket etch a and Invest estigate: e: • Construct triangle ABC in the box provided below. • Construct the midpoint of segment AB . Label it D . • Construct the midpoint of segment BC . Label it F . • Construct the midpoint of segment CA . Label it E . • Construct a line from vertex A to point F . (the median of BC ). • Construct a line from vertex B to point E . (the median of AC ). • Construct a line from vertex C to point D . (the median of AB ). • A centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle meet. (point G ) • The centroid is also called the center of gravity of the triangle.

He is looking for a house equidistant to the University of Houston, downtown, and the zoo and museum district (using the map provided on the right). Locate such a site or sites on the map and let him know how you located where your friend should live. Be prepare to present your solution in class by showing your work using GeoGebra.
Elaborate: Math th Cook okbook book to Inqu quir iry Student incorrect conjecture that the house lies within the triangle formed by connecting the three schools with the line segments.
Elaborate: Math th Cook okbook book to Inqu quir iry Student utilized GeoGebra to find the midpoint of each line segment and connect them to each points to determine the centroid.
