Inquiry Based Lesson Plans for High School Psychology: Mini Bundle

Are you looking for inquiry based lesson plans for high school psychology that get your students actively engaged in the content? This self-directed, inquiry-based, psychology-themed mini-bundle has you covered.

This bundle includes two inquiry resources that go hand-in-hand. One is a self-directed project-based learning experience where each student chooses one psychologist (historical or present-day) to explore. Students will research the psychologist using the principles of project based learning. Because the experience is self-directed, students are given a series of opportunities to make choices in project design and process. The templates included in this resource guide students seamlessly through that process.

The second resource included in this bundle is a self-directed experimental inquiry tool kit. The tool kit includes templates that students use to design and conduct their own experiments on a psychology/human behavior topic of their choosing.

The idea behind the bundle is to get students thinking about psychological research by studying a psychologist and then being a psychologist themselves by carrying out their own experimental inquiry investigations.

Each of the resources in this bundle includes a digital and printable version. The resources in this bundle are not editable at this time.
