Abstract: Inquiry-based science teaching (IBST) has garnered considerable interest in recent years due to its ability to improve students’ comprehension of scientific ideas and procedures. Experiments are crucial in IBST since they are key instruments for promoting inquiry, investigation, and discovery in the classroom. This research thoroughly analyses the importance of experiments in IBST, focusing on how they encourage active involvement, critical thinking, and better conceptual comprehension in students. This study highlights the many advantages of experiments in IBST using theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and practical insights. It also provides advice for effectively implementing them in educational practice.
