This resource describes the process of doing an investigation for {{teachtag|inquiry}}-based learning. Teachers could {{tag|sharing practise|share practice}} and lesson {{teachtag|planning}} ideas using the list of pupil skills (e.g. observing). It also lists learning goals for investigation skills (e.g. observing, predicting, problem solving) and ideas for exploring different types of {{teachtag|practical work}} in science.   
Teachers could share lesson ideas and {{tag|planning}} using the table and ideas regarding the types of skills pupils must engage (e.g. observing) - it is a good opportunity to {{tag|share practice}}.
It could be used for {{teachtag|discussion}} or brainstorming on how to apply these skills to different content areas. The resource emphasises engaging pupils in the {{teachtag|scientific method}} - using {{teachtag|higher order}} thinking skills, {{teachtag|group work}} and {{teachtag|dialogue}} to facilitate {{teachtag|knowledge building}}/{{teachtag|reasoning}}.
The resource also includes a set of learning goals centred on the investigation skills (observing, predicting, problem solving, etc.) and a sheet with some different ideas for exploring types of {{tag|practical work}} in science.   
Both these sheets could form the basis of a {{tag|discussion}} or brainstorming session to apply the types and skills given to different content areas.
The resources have an emphasis on encouraging pupils to {{tag|think like a scientist}} – using {{tag|higher order}} thinking skills – and the use of {{tag|group work}} and {{tag|dialogue}} to facilitate {{tag|knowledge building}}/{{tag|reasoning}}.

This resource describes the process of doing an investigation for inquiry(ta)-based learning. Teachers could share practice(i) and lesson planning(ta) ideas using the list of pupil skills (e.g. observing). It also lists learning goals for investigation skills (e.g. observing, predicting, problem solving) and ideas for exploring different types of practical work(ta) in science. It could be used for discussion(ta) or brainstorming on how to apply these skills to different content areas. The resource emphasises engaging pupils in the scientific method(ta) - using higher order(ta) thinking skills, group work(ta) and dialogue(ta) to facilitate knowledge building(ta)/reasoning(ta).
