The ASB Science Inquiry Conferences were held in March 2009. These Conferences model the actual scientific practice done by scientists to come together with their peers and present their research in an international conference setting. All student scientists were involved as “active scientific colleagues” questioning each others’ research, methods and data. The Inquiry Conference support current research for best practices in science education because it reflects the nature of science and scientific study.
ASB's Expected School-wide Learning Results (Effective Communicators, Independent Learners, Critical Thinkers, and World Class Citizen) were all represented in the various phases of the students’ activities during the Science Inquiry Conferences. The Conference for the Middle School students was held on March 17, 2009. The students in Grade 6 had projects on “Consumer Science”; the students in Grade 7 investigated “Soil Science”; and the students in Grade 8 did a “Human Challenge Science Inquiry Project”.
The Conference for the High School students was held on March 18, 2009.
