Activities use an Inquiry-based Learning Approach to enable students to pose questions and explore information from various sources to answer their questions. Through this approach, students are encouraged to consider additional questions on the topic and identify credible sources of information to find answers. Students are continually invited to connect their growing understanding of vaccines, their health, their perspectives about vaccines, and their decisions regarding vaccinations.
