Inquiry Based Activities

I like the Inquiry Based Activities.  It is a nice way to change up the classroom's routine.  I would not use it all of the time because it would take longer and teacher's deal with tight schedules already.  Surprisingly it did not take me as long as I was expecting to make it and to find resources.  I was expecting this project to take a lot longer.  The longest part was trying to decide what to do my IBA on.  And when I am a teacher and already have lesson plans, this will be way easier to create hopefully.  I like how it gives the students a chance to learn something that they can choose, like mine was about elements on the periodic table.  The students learn something interesting and applicable to the lesson that they are learning in class. I am a little OCD so it took me forever to get everything lined up the way that was acceptable to me.  Anyways, I will definitely use IBA in my classroom.
