To ensure that each student achieves success, teachers can tailor activities with students’ strengths and weaknesses in mind using the process of adaptive inquiry. Adaptive inquiry is the product of the synergistic relationship between what a student brings to the classroom and the teacher’s ability to shape a lesson in response to the needs of the student. The following is an example of an adaptive inquiry activity that uses Launch System Compressor (LCS) Rockets (paper tubes launched by squeezing a plastic bag filled with air). Many divergent outcomes are possible with this activity, but each one can be used to reach the ultimate objective of this lesson—teaching Newton’s third law of motion.
