Experience the Question Formulation Technique: a simple,
powerful strategy that can spark curiosity and deepen remote learning by
teaching students to ask their own questions.
1. Participants will learn the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) by experiencing it for themselves. They will walk away with a practical strategy they can immediately use in a remote setting to teach students how to ask better scientific questions and drive science inquiries.
2. Participants will explore student work from science classrooms across the country to see how the strategy can be used for a range of instructional purposes.
3. Participants will reflect on their learning, think on how they can implement it in their own setting, and get access to free tools and resources to do so.
