The physical science inquiry activities will focus on the process of investigation in science by having students actually participate in, identify, and practice the process of investigating common every-day scientific phenomena. Students should expect to be confronted with physical situations that are easy to see, but may be counter-intuitive, a challenge, or presented to them in an unusual way. There will be a broad investigation "structure" that we will call the inquiry learning cycle as a guide, but the details of what to do during each investigation will be generated by the students. This results in what some educators call an "authentic" investigation where the student is working on their own question and not forced to investigate a question generated by the instructor.
