The Laboratory School at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the University of Toronto has produced Natural Curiosity: Building Children's Understanding of the World Through Environmental Inquiry / A Resource for Teachers. There is a nearly 90-year history of research and practice at The Lab School as a demonstration school. This resource grew from the professional insights and experiences of The Lab School’s teachers.
The Lab School defines Environmental Inquiry as a combination of Inquiry-based Learning, Integrated Learning, Experiential Learning, and Stewardship. Part 1 of this resource provides detailed sections devoted to each of the four branches that comprise Environmental Inquiry. Part 2 of this resource describes the experiences of teachers who have integrated Environmental Inquiry into their practice.
The accompanying Companion Guide for Natural Curiosity: Making Environmental Inquiry Work Through Teacher Collaboration helps to bring teachers together to discuss the Inquiry-based learning and teaching methods described in Natural Curiosity. The Companion Guide is comprised of sessions meant to be led by a facilitator to create a forum for teachers to discuss options for putting inquiry into practice.
