Middle school students will actively participate in an inquiry based learning environment.  This process of Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observation.  Inquiry also includes an analysis and presentation of findings that lead to future questions, research and investigations.
Students will also be able to reflect upon their inquiry's and view their social implications. Students decide what constitutes scientific knowledge, develop an importance of reflecting on scientific knowledge and how to apply new knowledge to different situations to better understand the role of science in society and technology.
