The Inquiry Page

The Inquiry Page is a partner with Chickscope. It is a web site where teachers share units they have created. If you go to the Inquiry Page, click on "Inquiry Units", and search for "egg", "chicken", or "chickscope", you'll see a number of teacher-created units.

More units may be added over time, and we invite you to share what you have done in your classroom. If you have used and modified an existing Chickscope unit, you can enter that as well, using the Inquiry Page's "spin-off" feature.
