Hi John,
One of the teachers we work with uses an effective technique during
inquiries where students are working on different question in groups, and
some finish the investigation of their question earlier than other groups.
She has a list of a few questions posted called "questions to explore if
you finish early". I think these questions (on the same topic as the
investigation questions) were generated by students in an earlier class.
Best,
Fred
