After much thought, and consultation with Barbara Stripling, we have developed a simplified version of the FOSIL Inquiry Cycle for use with younger students (see below), which may be downloaded as a PDF and/ or PNG.
While the descriptions of the stages have been simplified, I have now used this version of the Cycle twice with younger students and am confident that the wording accurately describes the learning stance, process and development (see FOSIL Cycle for a detailed description of the stages involved).
This version of the Cycle has also been uploaded to Resources.
