===== Problem-based learning =====

Inquiry as a pedagogical framework has been shown to be especially effective when used along [[Problem-based learning|problem based learning]] (PBL) assignments.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":42">{{Cite journal |last=Saleh |first=Asmalina |last2=Phillips |first2=Tanner M. |last3=Hmelo‐Silver |first3=Cindy E. |last4=Glazewski |first4=Krista D. |last5=Mott |first5=Bradford W. |last6=Lester |first6=James C. |date=September 2022 |title=A learning analytics approach towards understanding collaborative inquiry in a problem‐based learning environment |url=https://bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjet.13198 |journal=British Journal of Educational Technology |language=en |volume=53 |issue=5 |pages=1321–1342 |doi=10.1111/bjet.13198 |issn=0007-1013}}</ref><ref name=":52">Quitadamo, Ian J, and Ryan Campanella. “Cougars, Curriculum, and Community.” ''The Science Teacher'', vol. 72, no. 4, 1 April 2005, pp. 28–31.

Students learn science by performing science: asking questions, designing experiments, collecting data, making claims, and using data to support claims. By creating a culture and community of inquiry in a science classroom, students learn science by working collaboratively with their peers to investigate the world around them and developing ways to solve problems affecting their communities.<ref name=":52" /> Students confronted with real world problems that affect their everyday lives arehave been shown to have increased engagement and feel more encouraged to solve the problems posed to them.<ref name=":52" />

===== 5E Model of Science Education =====

The 5E Model of Science Education is a planning structure that helps science teachers develop student centered inquiry-based lessons and units. In the 5E model, students learn science by exploring their questions using the same approach scientists use to explore their own questions. By using this approach, science teachers help their students connect scientific content learned in the classroom with phenomena from their own lives and apply that learning to new areas, in science and beyond. <ref name=":8">{{Cite web |title=How to Use the 5E Model in Your Science Classroom |url=https://www.edutopia.org/article/how-use-5e-model-your-science-classroom/ |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=Edutopia |language=en}}</ref>

The 5E Model is broken into the following sections which may repeat and occur at various stages of the learning process.
