Developing Sound Scientific Inquiry Questions
Today we studied science inquiry and how to create a science inquiry question versus a general question. Below are some tips and examples to help you make connections to what we discussed in class today.
- In sum, high-quality questions for inquiry science teaching:
- are about the natural world
- can be answered through empirical investigations within the limitations posed by classroom time, space, and resources
- seek explanation rather than simply description
- are closely matched to a standard or learning goal
- are productive in terms of you learning about scientific inquiry practices
- are productive in terms of you learning about an important science concept
- you can’t answer the question before investigating
- you have lots of ideas about the question before investigating
- tap into your personal experience, interest, or imagination

AP Environmental Science Summer Scavenger Hunt 2021
Time to Get Involved!
This voluntary scavenger hunt is designed to provide students with authentic experiences with nature. You will have the opportunity to bring your friends and family along as you gain “real” experiences with the environment around you. Please try to make this a fun and adventurous summer project. While we tried to provide you with many different possible activities, we know there are plenty more opportunities out there.

About the AP Environmental Science Course
The AP Environmental Science course is designed to engage students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships within the natural world. The course requires that students identify and analyze natural and human-made environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Environmental Science is interdisciplinary, embracing topics from geology, biology, environmental studies, environmental science, chemistry, and geography.
