Teaching an Inquiry Lesson

      For the second day of teaching, I had to teach and inquiry lesson. This was a big challegI e to me because I had very little experience with inquiry lessons and never planned one let alone taught one. I was very overwhelmed when I began to plan. I had to no idea where I should start. Dr. Smirnova provided me with some good resources that would help me plan. After doing some looking on my own I decided to go with a web quest inquiry lesson. I looked around for some web quests that had some good information for students. I choose one ,but a lot of the information wasn't too great So i decided to use that web quest as a starting point and ended up finding additional materials on my own. 
     When the day came to implement my inquiry lesson I was still very nervous. Since I didn't have much experience with inquiry lessons a lot of this was new to me. I did my best to prep and make sure that I was comfortable as possible with the material I was teaching. After doing this lesson, i think there were a few things that could do to make the lesson better. I think that this activity really needed to be done in the computer so that the students could explore through website instead of just reading printed out articles. One other thing I would do is to spend more time helping the students create a hypothesis. I feel that they stuggled with this and it had an impact on the rest of the activity.
