Objective: Students will be able to identify how certain questions lead to more questions when exploring.

Lesson: Pick a concept that someone had a question about and journal their thinking process as they explored that topic. Use a variety of media to demonstrate your thinking as well as for gathering your information.

Comments
Students will be able to use the iPads to gather information and record their thinking. They will be able to do this from their desks and pass them around so that other students can do the same. This will also be great for collaboration.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
Students will also be able to use the iPads to independently read, write, play math games, communicate with people in classrooms around the country and world, and much, much more!
Follow-Up
Students will have a better understanding of the number of steps it takes to really EXPLORE something. They are then going to pick anything they are interested in exploring more about and record the process they go through as they complete their own inquiry.
