It’s a project-based approach that is centred around a big question. During the inquiry, students carry out activities that help them find answers to this question. 

Being curious and asking questions helps us to understand and make sense of the world around us. It allows us to learn new things, discover new ideas, and find answers to problems. It helps us to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world and to think critically about the information and experiences we encounter. Asking questions also helps us to communicate with others and to collaborate in finding solutions to common problems. Questions are an essential part of being curious, open-minded, and engaged in the world around us. They’re essentially important life skills.

In the classroom, we can encourage questions and use them as a starting point for learning. In an inquiry-based approach, learners come up with their own questions around a topic or theme and work together to find answers.
