In this episode of The Science Teacher's Playbook, we're diving into one of the most powerful yet underused tools in the 3D science classroom: the Driving Question Board (DQB). These boards are more than a collection of questions—they're a living record of student thinking, wonderings, and discoveries that guide learning throughout a unit.

You'll learn:

• What a DQB is and why it's a key part of NGSS/STEELS-aligned instruction.
• How to launch a DQB with a phenomenon that gets students asking deep, authentic questions.
• Tips for organizing, revisiting, and using student questions to shape investigations.
• Ways to increase student ownership and keep the DQB active—not just something that sits on the wall.

We'll also share classroom-tested examples, practical management strategies, and a free DQB starter kit to get you going—plus a bonus paid resource packed with ready-to-use DQB templates and teacher guides.

If you're ready to turn your science classroom into a space of genuine curiosity and student-driven learning, this episode is your playbook.
