Designing for inquiry in virtual fieldwork: using explorations of extinction event to teach climate change

Inquiry lesson as introduced in the GC Insights: Designing for inquiry in virtual fieldwork (Malm et al., 2026) and the preprint GC Insights: Designing for full-phase inquiry in virtual fieldwork – upper secondary school students’ exploration of extinction events (Malm et al., 2025). It is here made available for inspiration and use in upper secondary school and undergraduate Earth science and geography courses. Malm, R. H., Hansen, K. R. S., Evans, R., Madsen, L.
