Developing inquiry-based thinking skills
Fall, winter, and spring are fantastic times for students to get outdoors to learn and develop their observation skills. Have students take the lead by hosting outdoor hikes for a new level of active learning.
Tips:
- Get a classroom to plan a hike through a nearby nature area or through the neighbourhood, and have students write tour guide notes about local species.
- Secondary students can create brochures, guides, or species lists of the school grounds. Invite community members to explore the area with these new resources.
- Go on a field trip to a local conservation area to identify trees and animal tracks.
- Do a walking meditation where students pay attention to their five senses.
