Inquiry-based Learning in Action: Science Tutorials

To enhance students’ engagement in learning science, we established a 14-hour tutorial course for Grades 9-10 students, which was comprised of many fantastic hands-on experiential lessons. Making good use of small classes, over 20 newly developed investigative activities greatly promoted students’ curiosity and motivation.
