Different types of Inquiry questions Factual questions

Knowledge/fact-based Content-driven Skills-related Supported by evidence Can be used to explore terminology in the statement of inquiry Frequently topical Encourage recall and comprehension

Conceptual questions

Debatable questions

Enable the use of facts and concepts to debate a position Promote discussion Explore significant ideas and issues from multiple perspectives Can be contested Have tension May be deliberately provocative Encourage synthesis and evaluation

Example of factual, conceptual and debatable questions CONCEPTS: INTERACTION CHANGE BIG IDEA: Human/environmental interactions can become unbalanced, leading to changes with unintended consequence INQUIRY QUESTIONS: FACTUAL: Does our country have areas of dense population? What issues in our region would suggest the danger of overpopulation? What areas of the world have very dense population centres? CONCEPTUAL: Why do nations develop concentrated “population centres”? What would indicate that a population centre is “overpopulated”? How do increasing human/environmental interactions change the environment? How might these interactions lead to scarce natural resources? How do communities with scarce natural resources meet their survival needs? How can scarce natural resources lead to conflict between groups of people or nations? DEBATABLE: How can governments ensure that their citizens have the necessary natural resources for survival? Should nations with plentiful natural resources be required to share with nations who have scarce natural resources?
