Inquiry Taster

You can download the document above for the comprehensive inquiry and context but below is a taster of what it offers.

Define ‘infographic’ and record the student responses on a wall chart or mapping tool. To help find out what a word means, you can use Google’s define feature. For example, type ‘define: infographic’ into the search box and press enter.

For help finding web page content that is more suited to children, add ‘for children’ to your search term. For example, type ‘infographic for children’ into the search box and press enter. Add the extra relevant information to your class wall chart.
