In the inquiry activities, the more children are interested in the materials, the stronger their desire for inquiry, and the deeper and more lasting the inquiry behavior. It is necessary to select and optimize materials based on childrens interests and needs, so as to promote children to explore actively and actively. Secondly, effective questioning in scientific inquiry activities can not only stimulate childrens desire for knowledge, but also arouse childrens learning enthusiasm and improve childrens inquiry level, thus improving childrens ability to find and solve problems. Proper questioning can make childrens inquiry more focused, thinking more deeply and expressing more accurately.展开更多
