On-Line Video Inquiries

The online inquiries linked from this page are based on videos that can be used with children. You can engage in the inquiries yourself, as well.

The intent is to provide some examples of how children can engage in making sense of a variety of life forms and how they are adapted for survival. As time allows, additional information on these organisms will be added at the bottom of each page. However, this content is meant for teachers so that they can formulate their own questions and activities… and not as content to be memorized by children.
