In this 5 segment video series, we will work together to build a structured inquiry using the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) sequence of framing, filling, finishing an inquiry. We will focus on critical junctures in the design process that will create curricular alignment across the blueprint.

The middle three videos in this series have been divided into elementary and secondary strands so that the design process is tailored for the respective grade levels. The series concludes with an investigation of different kinds of inquiry models that range in scope.
