Cool- It Lab

Inquiry Criteria	Inquiry continuum specific statement from the column/row	Why do you believe this fits that column/row (Your argument)	How would you improve this part of the lesson to make it more inquiry based
Engage	Learner engages in question provided by teacher, materials, or other source	We were given the option to decide whether stirring would affect the cooling process but we were told  how to analyze  the data we collected	I would have presented student s with instruction how to record water temperature but let decide on their own
Evidence	Learner directed to collect certain data	We were specifically instructed how to record the change of both cups of water.  We were provided with procedure instruction of how to investigate our question.	Students would have to come up with their own way of testing the evidence, changes of temperature of hot liquid.
Explain	Learner guided in process of formulating explanations from evidence	We were given specific questions to guide us and help us to come with possible explanations.	Students would have to come up with their own questions/ideas how to summarize evidence. They would have to themselves to think how to interpret the changes in both cups of hot water.
Evaluate	Learner given all other explanations	The directions did not tell us to compare our finding with other groups or to look for other resources that offer different explanations. In that sense, I would say that our experiment completely lacks the evaluation part.	I would have different student groups compare their finding and research independently other sources to refine their explanations.
Communicate	Learner given steps and procedures for communication	We did not have to communicate our findings. After the experiment was over were instructed to write a conclusion there was no mention of sharing those ideas with other students.	I would encourage students to share their presentations with the class, parents, other teachers, other classrooms, or principal but they would come up with their own ideas of how to do it, through different presentations, posters, power points,  journals etc.
