  2. The Inquiry Continuum LOW Inquiry May Be HIGH Structured Guided Student-Initiated Students may assume responsibility for determining procedure, but the teacher chooses question for investigation. Students generate their own questions from a teacher-selected topic and design their own investigation. Students engage in a hands-on activity and draw conclusions, but follow specific teacher instructions.
