Melissa Perley, a Fort Fairfield Middle High School chemistry and physics teacher, works with Jennifer Morin, an agricultural science teacher at Central Aroostook Junior-Senior High School in Mars Hill, during a recent training on inquiry-based learning at Washburn District High School.
Science teachers, agricultural science teachers and student-teachers from the middle- and high-school levels used chemicals, metals and a motor to develop a functioning battery; creatively presented the steps of photosynthesis; and simulated antibiotic treatments, collecting data on their effectiveness in the process.
The activities were part of a training in inquiry-based instruction recently at Washburn District High School, and exercises the teachers could deploy in their classroom.
