Apples: An Inquiry Based Unit of Study

Increase student engagement and deepen understanding!

Do you want your students to explore, investigate, research, study, and pursue topics based on curiosity to increase their understanding of the world?

This Apples: Inquiry Based Unit of Study will help you do create a more engaged, self motivated, and collaborative group of little learners. Go beyond the “cute” apple activities and delve into answering the questions that students really are interested in. Students will work collaboratively to answer their questions through research and then create a presentation to share their discoveries.

This unit is based on an inquiry or project based approach to learning and thus is meant to be student driven and open ended in many respects.
