Why the Learning Cycle?
Marek, Edmund A.
Journal of Elementary Science Education, v20 n3 p63-69 Sum 2008
The learning cycle is a way to structure inquiry in school science and occurs in several sequential phases. A learning cycle moves children through a scientific investigation by having them first explore materials, then construct a concept, and finally apply or extend the concept to other situations. Why the learning cycle? Because it is a theory-based design for inquiry that works when implemented well. (Contains 2 tables.)
