In this video from Physics by Inquiry, learn how an inquiry-based activity helps learners identify gaps in their own understanding. Teachers participate in a professional development activity in which they investigate electric circuits in small groups. The learners work through experiments and exercises, make observations, test assumptions, discuss ideas, and develop an understanding of electrical resistance.
