After learning about the inquiry wheel I liked it a lot more than the typical scientific method approach. I really liked how everything goes back to asking questions. Being told to do a project that you can only have one question to limits the project. It limits the students from furthering research and really finding out information. To reiterate questions being important, the picture shows questions being the main portion of the diagram.
I remember doing the typical scientific method in grade school for a science fair project. Half way through the projects I would notice something I didn't think would happen, but I would have to stick to my original plan because that was what the question was and what the results had to show.
I had never heard of the inquiry wheel until this class and I plan on using it in my classroom because I think it will give my students the best results and get them the most interested in what they are studying and learning about.
