Just checked out the KidSpark webpage and kinda kicking myself for not discovering it sooner.  Inquiry based learning is such a huge part of the education philosophy right now, and after 3 years in York's Concurrent Ed program I definitely know the benefits of having children find and answer their own questions.  When students are involved in their own learning, they make a much deeper connection to the material - it sticks with them for a long time. Talk about intrinisically motivating students!  I just checked out the program for March at KidSpark and I'm pretty sure my kids would've loved them when they were younger, especially Gross Olympics (on second thought, they probably would still love playing around there).  Never thought, to find interesting and engaging lesson plans by googling - inquiry based lessons.  I will definitely be adding that to my lesson plan research repetoire (Thanks Kelly).
