Design a multidisciplinary enquiry – or in other words, a lesson in which your student will do an investigation, using several disciplines.
There are many questions that you can interpret and investigate through three or more disciplines. For your teaching activity, come up with a question that will interest you and/or your student. Then use the discipline wheel to plan what will happen in your lesson. You could decide to focus on four disciplines – in which case, who will choose them? Include opportunities for discussion about each discipline. In particular what are the investigative methods we associate with each discipline – is it direct observations, is it searching for secondary sources, is it calculating and discussing your calculations … Plan ways to encourage your student to talk about each of the disciplines too.
