Last summer I had the opportunity to participate in Science and a Sense of Place. At first I was a little shaken by the unfamilar and I felt that this was a very different class. I was also surprised at the vast amounts of content given in what was suppose to be inquiry.At the end of the class I realized that I had learned much and went back to school wondering how I  could best utilize my new insights.Yesterday, when I asked my students to prove to me if air was matter, they did! Wow, there goes my lesson .Luckily something kicked in,and I took a chance.Great, now that we know that air has mass, why don't we figure out a way to determine its mass.I gave the class a few formulas and permission to  use anything in class to determine the mass of air.At the end of class they shared their many unique ideas.Tomorrow they will  put their ideas into action to see what they can discover.This inquiry  is a great place to be!
