Taryn, I am a MS science teacher and I use Inquiry based learning at the beginning of my units to see what students background knowledge the students have.  It is an absolute joy to see students grasp concepts and see the lightbulb go one.  This allows them to learn grasp at their own level and explore even deeper when we start to get into the concepts.  

I too sometimes find myself directing students to discovery or answering questions they pose instead of restating my questions and redirecting with more specific questions until they understand on their own.
