Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE)

The Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) is an educational approach that emphasizes active student engagement through hands-on experiments and inquiry. Instead of just memorizing facts, students explore scientific concepts by designing experiments, making observations, and analyzing results. This method encourages critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and the development of scientific skills. ISLE aims to foster a deeper, more meaningful learning experience by allowing students to discover principles themselves rather than passively receiving information. It mirrors genuine scientific practices, helping students build a stronger, more personal understanding of science.
