Unit Outline and Book
This unit is designed to guide you through the inquiry process and the resulting product of this inquiry will be a report and presentation on a science or social science problem that you have chosen to investigate. For example the question could be Why do whales beach themselves? or Where do whale sharks go during the breeding months? You will then investigate the question, research the data around the subject and synthesize and create a report on your findings.
You need to complete the tasks in the workshops to support the development of your inquiry skills which are as important as the final product. These inquiry skills will be transferable to your science and social science classrooms and will set you on the road to becoming a competent researcher.
The unit outline is available on the BB site.
A book version of the unit can be downloaded here.

Inquiry in Action Videos
The button accompanying the picture each week will link you to a video that documents an example of Inquiry in Action.
We have interviewed and filmed a number of local scientists and historians to examine how they use inquiry in real world contexts. Please watch each video before the workshop so you can discuss the inquiry process.
