Maureen Said:

what is the best website to find free lesson plan ideas for collaborative learning and inquiry based learning?

We Answered:

Since the inquiry teaching uses real world problem solving of interest to your particular students, then it will be difficlut to find specific lesson plans. Once you understand the process, then you can substitute many concept. In the highest form of inquiry, the problem is identified by the student,the process of solving the problem is decided by the student, and a tentative solution is resolved by the student.
Nevertheless, here are a couple of sources showing inquiry sample lesson plans:

You didn't specify an age, viewpoint, or level, so I included several; just google "to kill a mockingbird lesson plans" and you'll find bunches :-)

Hope that helps!
