Abstract
This creative component is a culmination of what has been learned throughout the coursework of the Masters of Arts in Science Education Degree at the University of Northern Iowa. The curriculum that has been developed for this project is a series of three learning cycles that allow long-term inquiry labs to be incorporated directly into the existing General Biology curriculum at Linn-Mar High School. The inquiry lab use Wisconsin Fast Plants™ to teach about plant life cycles, ecology and the scientific method. It is expected that the inclusion of these learning cycles will infuse a constructivist framework into the curriculum which will positively affect student learning by increasing collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and problem solving skills; thus encouraging Linn-Mar science students to become life-long learners who are informed citizens.
