Intrigue
Inquiry-based teaching using discrepant events intrigues teachers and their students. We all know that our ability to retain information improves when the information intrigues us. The same holds true for the understanding that happens while sharing knowledge.
Fortified Learning
A small number of learners, however, gain and retain information better, unaided. Inquiry engages the majority of students in remarkably far-reaching idea interchanges, when first presented with discrepant events. The mutual building of ideas releases a fortified learning that conveys broader and more reliable thinking.

The scientific process of gaining knowledge makes sense, particularly after using discrepant event inquiry. It makes sense because the process of mystery solving propels the human mind and spirit. Inquiry lessons demystify what many assume nearly extinct: versatile thinking skills.
