More research on guided inquiryand renewable energy

Then,  my research through Google scholar, I searched for "inquiry learning" AND "teacher role", I  find out different websites which will help educators to view inquiry from different angles. This was a more refined search which produced only 497 hits. one of the links below gives  information on some inquiry

strategies in literacy world.

Today I decided to search in Proquest education Databases to find out more on information literacy. I just tried "information literacy" and I could notice that there were 14 hits. But when I tried "information literacy" AND "primary classes", not hits could be found. This interested me and  I continued to search by using several other search terms such as 
"guided inquiry"-no results
"inquiry based learning"- 2 results
"information inquiry" OR "research" - 1 result.
more search confirmed that I could get the more specific information from Proquest databases and there are limited spaces for the search terms. 


I also found out  an interesting game related to the renewable energy for primary kids when I searched for "games AND renewable energy" in Google.

One of the searches  ended up in a  you tube link which  provides much more ideas on renewable energy. The search was done by 'Renewable energy' -you tube  on Google.
