Inquiry is at the heart of how young children make sense of the world. When we nurture their questions and wonderings, we invite them to become active thinkers.
Notice what children return to, listen for their theories and offer materials that help them test ideas. A provocation does not need to be complicated; it needs to leave room for possibility.
Document the thinking, not just the finished product. Photos, children’s words and educator reflections help make learning visible.
