You are hereAbout nQuire
The nQuire software enables you to design and run science inquiries at school, at home, or outdoors on mobile devices.
Students are guided through the inquiry process, from creating their research question and planning how they will carry out their inquiry, to collecting data, then sharing and presenting results.
Teachers can choose from a set of ready made inquiries for their students, modifying them as they need, or creating their own new inquiries using the nQuire authoring tools. Teachers can monitor their students' progress through inquiries, and give them access to new parts of inquiries as they complete each stage.
Developers can create new inquiries for students and teachers to use, and extend and develop the open source nQuire system to achieve their own goals.
The nQuire software runs on Windows, Linux and Apple Mac computers, including a complete installation for a USB Flash Drive so you don’t have to install any software on your computer.
