The teacher PD sessions are a set of three videos being released by Science North, with this being the final session geared towards intermediate teachers for Grade 7 and Grade 8 students. The goal of these sessions is to provide teachers with an overview of Inquiry Based learning while also sharing ideas and resources to do two inquiry-based activities with students.
In this fourth teacher PD session, we talk to some of our Science North Bluecoats about how they use inquiry in their positions. Using their experiences from the Science Centre, from outreach programs or from the classroom, each of these scientists share some tips on how inquiry-based learning can support virtual learning.

Science North is grateful to work with First Nations across Northern Ontario and we give thanks to the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We pay respect to their traditions, ways of knowing, and acknowledge their many contributions to innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, past and present. We also recognize the Métis Nation of Ontario for their historic and ongoing contributions. Science North commits to deepening engagement, relationships and partnerships in order to advance truth and reconciliation, honour and reflect Indigenous ways of knowing, grow economic opportunities, and collaborate with Indigenous peoples as partners in order to inspire all people to be engaged with science in the world around them.
