Curiosity in Action: Building Deeper Understanding Through Simulation and Inquiry-Based Learning
September 24 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
*A Gizmo event from Explore Learning
Audience: 9–12
Today’s science classrooms must do more than deliver content. They must develop curious, analytical, and evidence-driven scientific thinkers. This interactive session explores how simulation-based inquiry examples (Grades 9–12) allow students to actively investigate scientific phenomena, test ideas, analyze data, and build deeper conceptual understanding through exploration and discovery.
Participants will experience engaging, curriculum-connected science investigations designed to support implementation of the new Manitoba science curriculum while fostering student curiosity, creativity, and critical scientific thinking. Through interactive simulations and visual models, educators will explore strategies for making complex and abstract scientific concepts more accessible across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science classrooms.
The session will also highlight practical approaches for supporting classroom discussion, differentiation, assessment, and student engagement through inquiry-driven learning experiences. Educators will leave with ready-to-use ideas and strategies that help students think, question, and investigate like scientists.
