Ever wonder how to arouse students’ learning interest and engage them in synthesizing knowledge to solve real-world problems? Using the Inquiry-Based Learning approach, a lesson package was specially crafted with students’ preferences and readiness in mind. Using authentic case studies and images, students were guided to work collaboratively in a blended setting. They learnt to construct, question, and reflect on their learning process by embarking on a scientific inquiry investigation. Teaching actions such as 'Engagement through Collaboration and Interactivity using ICT' and 'Socratic Method of Questioning' was unpacked to assist students in reasoning, constructing, validating, and applying knowledge in solving real-world problems.

Nutrients in Food is a topic that is taught to all Secondary 1 Food and Consumer Education (FCE) students. It forms the foundational knowledge for Upper Secondary students who are taking Nutrition and Food Science (NFS). Hence, it is important that students have a strong foundation in this topic. The purpose of this classroom study is to develop a fun and engaging way for students to take ownership of their learning. The project team incorporated technology in designing a game to provide an immersive and engaging learning experience for the students. The team hopes that through this activity, it will promote the joy of learning of FCE whereby students would develop the intrinsic motivation to learn for themselves and thus, embark on the “lifelong journey of exploration and discovery” (Ng Chee Meng, 2017).
