What is The Inquiry Based Method?
Inquiry-based learning focuses on investigation and problem-solving. Instead of presenting the answer up-front, teachers start with a range of scenarios, questions and problems for students to navigate. Students require critical and creative thinking so they can develop their abilities to ask questions, design investigations, interpret evidence, form explanations and communicate findings.

What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking involves the ability to reflect on an idea or problem, apply reason, and make logical connections between ideas. It is about being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information. Critically thinking students think independently, clearly and rationally.
