Unsur inkuiri tersebut dimunculkan melalui dialog dan kegiatan tokoh yang menggambarkan proses penemuan konsep serta percobaan sederhana. Penelitian menggunakan PTK yang terdiri dari tiga siklus. Data perkembangan karakter diperoleh dari observasi tiap siklus dan angket pengembangan karakter sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran.
