Scientific Inquiry and Curiosity

Unrelated, but related, picture of the Mars Rover Curiosity. 

As both a teacher and a learner, I feel that the essence of scientific inquiry should be curiosity. When we lose curiosity, we lose the drive to learn and innovate; we stop growing, and believe in order to be an effective teacher, you should never stop growing.

In my concept map, I had to limit myself; the more brainstorming I did, the more connections I made, all stemming from scientific inquiry. I'm happy with the end product, and I think I will carry this with me and add to it as I grow as a professional, teacher, and learner.
