The Wonder Organizer is an essential visual tool within the DRiVe inquiry framework, designed to help students transition from initial observations and general curiosity into structured, investigative questions. This graphic organizer guides learners to brainstorm, categorize, and prioritize potential variables and ideas, effectively defining the Dependent Variable (DV) that will become the focus of their scientific study. By nurturing curiosity and making the questioning process visible, the Wonder Organizer is a pivotal scaffold that ensures students move beyond passive acceptance to actively constructing knowledge through focused, scientific inquiry.
