Inquiry Based Research - A project in a 6th grade computer science classroom

Over the past few months I have been working with my friend Becky and her 6th grade Computer Science (CS) class. Her current learning situation is set at hybrid. Half of her class is in person with her in her classroom and the other half joins via Google Meet from their homes. We decided to see how we could support students in learning more about a CS topic of their choice through inquiry based research. 

You can learn more about our project at http://bit.ly/InquiryBasedResearch . We share resources for each step in the process as well as presentations we have created for online conferences. 

Common Phrases Adults Should Rethink

I've engaged in many conversations over the past few months with adults who are helping learners at home during distance learning due to COVID-19. A topic that often comes up is around the difficulty of the work and not knowing the answer or how to support their learner. 

I reached out to my friend Amanda Sullivan to get her permission to share information from her book Breaking the STEM Stereotype Reaching Girls in Early Childhood and we hope you find it helpful.
