 * = __**Instructional Events**__ ||= __**Abstract/Summary**__ ||= __**Intended Media**__ ||= __**Rationale**__ ||
 * Activity #1 – Morning Session Day 1 || The presentation will allow the instructor to present the information about what inquiry is, what it looks like, why it is effective, and the benefits of using inquiry in the classroom. || PowerPoint || This is a workshop on inquiry. So beginning with a presentation on the topic of inquiry, and what it is and why it is effective is very important so that the learners understand the contents of the workshop they are attending.  ||
 * Activity # 2 – Morning Session Day 1 || The learners will be given instructions on how to create a paper airplane. Then with that airplane they will try and see who can get their plane to fly the furthest. Following the first activity the learners will be given the challenge of creating their own paper airplane that will stay in the air the longest period of time. Once the challenge is complete the learners will get into groups and design a superior plane from the ideas of the planes that did stay aloft the longest. || Paper Airplane Activity and Directions for Paper Airplane || This activity will allow the learners to experience the difference between being given the directions and when they are challenged to create their own design. The reason for doing this is to allow the learners to essentially see the difference between a traditional lab and an inquiry lab. Also to allow the learners to think about which activity they think their students would prefer doing and which requires more creativity. ||
 * Activity #3 – Morning Session Day 1 || The learners will use the information they have gained throughout the morning to create a poster using butcher paper to state what inquiry is, why inquiry is important, the benefits of using inquiry, and compare and contrast traditional and inquiry approaches. || Butcher Paper and Markers || This is a formative assessment of the morning session to gage the learners understanding of inquiry and why it is useful to use in science classrooms.  ||
 * Activity #4 – Afternoon Session Day 1 || Inquiry-tech framework will be presented to the learners and the instructor will give an example of how ordinary cookbook labs can be converted to inquiry labs. Then the learners will use the framework to convert an ordinary cookbook lab to an inquiry lab. || Inquiry-Tech Framework and an Cookbook Lab || This activity gets the learners acquainted with the framework and gives them a chance to help each other work through converting a cookbook lab into an inquiry lab.  ||
 * __ DAY TWO: __**

|| The reason for using the video is to reach some visual learners and to show a modeling of inquiry so that the students will have something to look at for the role play activity later in the morning session. || || The rationale behind this event is to get the students to think about inquiry from the perspectives of the students and other teachers, and to think critically about different scenarios they may run into. || Post-Workshop || To put their lesson into practice in their own classroom. We have provided them the information to successfully implement the inquiry into their classroom. || The lesson they created the rubric, the post- self reflection and the framework. || Our rationale here is for the learners to practice and self reflect on their own progress teaching inquiry. To make the process better for the individual. ||
 * Instructional Events || Abstract/Summary || Intended Media || Rationale ||
 * Activity #1 – Morning Session Day 2 || A shot video that will allow students to see what inquiry looks like, it will let them see how the student-teacher interaction works. || A video that will be linked to YouTube
 * Activity # 2 – Morning Session Day 2 || Role-play is designed to let the students act out and converse about different scenarios that may come up during an inquiry lesson. || Role-play activity sheet and the scenarios that accompany. Only hand out the scenarios.
 * Activity #3 – Afternoon Session Day 2 || Inquiry-tech framework will be presented to the learners and the instructor will give an example of how ordinary lesson can be converted into an inquiry lesson. The learners will also be able to look at the framework to attempt to put together a lesson. || The conversion activity which is the culminating project. They will be provided an example, framework, successful rubric. || This activity gets the learners acquainted with the framework and gives them a chance to help each other work through converting a cookbook lab into an inquiry lab.  ||
 * Activity #4-
