What is ADI?Argument-Driven Inquiry is a rigorous method of doing science that requires students to design, conduct, make sense of their own investigations. Students begin with a guiding question, background knowledge, and an introduction to common chemistry tools and techniques, then design and conduct an investigation - often in the lab - to answer the question. They must then analyze the data collected in lab to make a claim that answers the question and use their understanding of chemistry concepts to justify their claim. Student team arguments (claim, evidence and justification) must be presented to other student groups in an argument session where students question, probe and challenge the methods, data and thinking of one other. The teams then revise their arguments and write individual investigation reports of their work.
