Kids' Web Classroom: Inquiry

This section provides kid-appropriate sites that you might want to let your students explore on their own, or with your guidance.

Educator's Guide: Carolina Coastal Science
This website is an inquiry-based science resource that utilizes the interactive technologies of a web browser to explore science in coastal Carolina. Users can click through a series of scenarios and images that prompt students to use inquiry methods to explore possible solutions and outcomes. Working on this with your students could be a useful way to guide your students through interweaving inquiry science and the web.

Science Junction Student Station
This section of the Science Junction website offers inquiry-based home experiments and online science games relating to biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and space. Depending on their grade level, these are all appropriate for students to explore on their own.
