No Prep Plans: IB Learner Profile in Action — InquirerCuriosity Investigation Mini Exhibit | Grades 6–8

Help students put the IB Learner Profile attribute of Inquirer into action with this ready-to-use research and group project!

- Research using reliable sources and evidence
- Identify discoveries that surprised or changed their thinking
- Create a mini exhibit showcasing their findings
- Highlight questions that remain unanswered
- Explore a real researcher or organization investigating a related question
- Present and reflect on their inquiry
