Indiana Caravan 2011: How is Inquiry Science Like Baking Cookies?

admin — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:15:28 +0000

Have you ever made cookies with kids?

Heard the delighted, ‘oh gross’ when they crack the eggs?

Seen the compulsion they all have to touch the flour?

Noticed way they repeat “are they done yet? are they done yet” after the cookies are popped into the oven?

That process – the mixing, measuring and sweat equity – is inquiry science – that hands dirty, sleeves rolled up, complete involvement IS inquiry science.

And we are the best inquiry science program available in Indiana.
