This chapter presents a range of inquiry-based approaches for scaffolding learning experiences in science education using a constructivist theoretical framework. Discussion will focus on understanding the underpinning constructs of inquiry-based approaches using the 5E approach and project-based learning as contemporary examples. The components of how single and sequenced science lessons/learning experiences can be designed to optimise students’ learning of targeted concepts will also be discussed.
