JoinWhole-Class Inquiry Assessments
Whole-class inquiry (WCI) assessments range from challenging, paper-and-pencil puzzles to lab-based problems that require students to apply their own gathered data to a new scenario; the latter might also require students to perform a lab with new parameters, or to answer a question using data from a previous lab. In this article, the authors present two example WCI assessments to describe how they implement these tests and use them to build a strong sense of community in their classrooms.
