The development of this lesson was inspired by the desire to evoke creativity and practice inquiry skills in the classroom. The goal was to shift away from traditional, step-by-step experiments; rather scaffold student exploration through different phases of inquiry. Often, as students reach higher education, they tend to lose the will to think critically and creatively because they have been habituated to following exact processes to acquire the correct solution. To further activate this, the lesson integrates indigenous science to connect to the big idea of sustainability and its cruciality. The students will engage in a sensory experience: smelling the soil, crunching the leaves, and feeling the rocks; they will create visual models to explain the hibernation nest phenomenon. These visuals will pave the way for group discussion, creativity and diversity. As a teacher, I am to press on students thinking by providing guiding questions to evoke peer discussion. The purpose of this is not to lead students to think a specific way, rather inspire new perspectives which will also contribute to my learning as an educator.
