Water Inquiry’s interactive stories<\/a> work well to engage students in remote or hybrid learning environments. Illustrated story books come to life in virtual read-alouds. Interactive prompts launch water investigations in backyards and kitchen sinks. Students share ideas and questions by uploading videos, sketches and audio to SeeSaw. <\/span>Read the blog post Remote Water Inquiry<\/a> to follow the adventures of Eva Jaffe and her first graders “immersed” in <\/span>Inquiry, Inc. and the Case of the Missing Ducklings. <\/span><\/a>Our team is happy to consult with educators who are curious to try remote or hybrid investigations, email cberner@smith.edu.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
