Abstract
This article describes the DRiVe (demonstrate,
replicate, investigate, variate, evaluate) Inquiry Framework, which provides teachers with specific detailed
strategies and graphic organizers to support them in
developing their science inquiry practices and in shifting to more open-ended science inquiry. Designed by
teachers for teachers, the DRiVe Inquiry Framework
has been implemented extensively in classrooms across
Canada. This article takes readers through the details
of using the framework in a Grade 7/8 combined class
in which students tested pop bottle water filters. The
part of the activity this article focuses on used the following science practices: asking questions; planning
and carrying out investigations; analyzing and interpreting data; using mathematics and computational
thinking; constructing explanations; engaging in argument from evidence; and obtaining, evaluating and
communicating information.
