What is an inquiry question?

Here is a link to a video Ms. Green and I made.  This will tell you all the information you need to know to help make a good inquiry question.  Watch it as many times as you'd like!  Feel free to pause, rewind or fast forward through the things you already understand.

Having trouble coming up with search terms for your inquiry question?

Here is a video Mrs. Lapointe made to show how she came up with her specific search terms.  This video is very helpful if you only have one or two terms listed below your question.  Feel free to pause, rewind or fast forward through the things you already understand.

Applying your search terms.

If you were absent when we tested our search terms and analyzed our results (5/9), you'll want to watch this video.  Mrs. LaPointe walks you through how to fill in pages 3 and 4 of your pink iWonder packet.
