This school year I have decided to streamline the process, adding instructions, embedded video, and rubrics to the slide template students will work in.

I think I'm on to something this year!

The below lesson is only an outline meant to encourage deeper thinking about the 5E cycle.

The goal of the first few weeks is to answer the question "What is Robotics?"

By finding a visualization, downloading it, removing specific information (titles, legends, keys, etc.) and displaying it to students, questions emerge.

I have written to annoying lengths about my love for the connection between the 5E Inquiry Learning Cycle and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey.

It does me no good as an educator to engage in debates around the efficacy of grading.

My final "stack of papers" to grade was a shared folder full with our final lab practical reports: a group experiment where students determined the optimal H2-O2 ratio to fill a 2L bottle fo for maximum product upon ignition.

The most important part of the shifting one's instruction to an inquiry learning cycle approach is challenge of "Calling Students to Adventure", engaging them by strategically sparking their curiosity.
