The main objective of this work was to analyze the development of science skills through an inquiry process in class. The data were collected through audio and video recordings. The students were given the freedom to choose a problem to solve, and they decided on a near-environmental problem to research. They suggested a research question, formulated a hypothesis, designed experiments, observed, collected data, and searched for information. The teacher acted as a facilitator of resources. Finally, the students communicated the results obtained in their inquiry process. They performed all the above while asking themselves questions they had to answer during the course of the project, which increased in depth as the work evolved. The results of this research present PBL as an optimal methodology to develop scientific skills, such as inquiry practice, by means of asking questions. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-123615OA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.669 2023 Computer Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Science Applications 2023 Q2 Public Administration 2023 Q2 Education 2023 Q2 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2023 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2023 Q2 4.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Calvo-Zueco, Elena Sánchez-Sánchez, Ester Universidad de Zaragoza Cascarosa-Salillas, Esther Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3696-7673 4013 205 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
