Abstract	This article presents outdoor inquiry activities to help English Language Learner (ELL) students learn life science concepts. As a public high school ELL science teacher, the author of this article use these place-based and scaffolded inquiry activities outside to reinforce concepts she teaches in the classroom all year long. Through inductive outings, nature journaling, and multicultural gardening, her beginner and intermediate level ELLs gain science-inquiry skills and improve the language skills they need to succeed in an English-immersion public high school. These students also develop a sense of ownership and belonging as contributing members of the school community. (Contains 4 figures and 5 online resources.) (ERIC).
