From our last meeting


 * Structure of Environmental Inquiry**


 * 1) -starts with an experience that has students gain some relationship with what is to be investigated (e.g., bring a sample of water that you collect over the March break)
 * 2) -what stories, learning, questions arise from the initial experience? - determines what we will investigate
 * 3) -KBC to explore what we do know as a group
 * 4) -research, experiments, interviews, etc. -compiing (compiling?) our learning somewhere
 * 5) -incorporating this into our group understanding –maybe another KBC
 * 6) -stewardship project –to apply our learning
