OUR The Power of Questions: Enhancing Inquiry and Engagement in the Science Classroom

Great questions ignite curiosity, drive inquiry, and deepen understanding—but crafting and using them effectively is a skill that takes practice. Join us for a powerful professional development session focused on developing strategic questioning techniques that transform science instruction.
During this interactive day of learning, K-12 educators will explore how to use questions to guide investigations, promote critical thinking, and support productive student discourse. We’ll dive into questioning strategies that align with all levels of Depth of Knowledge (DOK), from sparking initial engagement to challenging students to analyze, evaluate, and create.
Participants will practice designing questions that scaffold learning, uncover student thinking, and push beyond surface-level answers. You’ll leave with ready-to-use strategies and a fresh perspective on how intentional questioning can build a culture of inquiry, boost student confidence, and foster deeper connections to scientific concepts.
Whether you’re looking to refine your questioning practice or discover new approaches, this session offers practical insights and collaborative opportunities to take your science teaching to the next level.
