Inquiry Process: Initial Engagement

Initial Engagement
                The initial engagement is the first stage in the Inquiry Process. In this stage the focus is on the inspiration of the forthcoming project. The questions “why did this happen” or “how can we make that happen again” are often asked. In this example the teacher while completing a water colour lesson sparked the children’s curiosity of clean water. The children after seeing the water being poured into the sink asked the questions “But where does the water go?” and “How does the water get clean and come back out of the tap?”. The children’s curiosity was encouraged when the teacher brought in a variety of materials for the children to explore.
