Today I assigned an inquiry project on the body systems.  I wasn’t to sure how it would go, as most of the students have not really done an inquiry project before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how engaged and interested the students were.  It is some to behold watching a group of students talking and investigating topics they are interested in.  At one point, I obviously did not make it clear enough that they could do any topic they wanted relating to a body system.  As someone asked the question about whether or not they could do any topic, there was a bit of a hubbub when they realized they had the freedom to choose.  My hope it the final presentations will reflect the students’ interest and choice in the process.
