STUDENT ROLES
Students are introduced to the concept. Students become mentally engaged in the new learning experience.

TEACHERS ROLES
Teachers ask questions of students and engage them in the guided inquiry lessons. They use strategies that make connections between the past and present learning experience. Teachers set up the investigation and guide students in inquiry, asking probing questions to clarify understanding.

Explore

Students explore or experiment at this point. They engage in observations, use science tools and materials (manipulative), collect data, and record data.

Explain

Students verbalize their understandings from the "explore" phase, look for patterns in their data, and describe what they observed. This can be done in small and/or whole groups Students expand their learning, practice skills and behaviour, and make connections or applications to related concepts and in the world around them.

Teachers ask questions that encourage students to look for patterns or irregularities in their data.

Extend

Teachers provide learning opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and to gain a deeper understanding.

Evaluate

Students answer questions, pose questions, and illustrate their knowledge (understandings) and skill (abilities).

Teachers diagnose student understanding through an ongoing process.
