Welcome
This website contains my masters work from during my time at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education. My action research focused on the question "How can I effectively scaffold inquiry learning in my classroom and how does it affect student motivation?"
In order to explore the inquiry process, a detailed curriculum was developed to explore scientific phenomena through a Southern Counties Reform Initiative Benefiting Educators and Students (SCRIBES) grant awarded by the University of Riverside, California. The grant supported professional development in the area of museum exhibit development for a small group of HTH educators and the curators for the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park, San Diego. After visiting museums and attending a custom workshop with the exhibit developers at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we developed a project where students use engineering and scientific inquiry to create inquiry based museum exhibits. This site documents this undertaking.
Thanks for visiting,
