A MUST for Anyone who Teaches Science!

This book will help even the "oldest dog" (like me!) learn new tricks to help her/his students develop Scientific Inquiry skills. The book is very user friendly, gets to the "point", and provides clear, easily adapted examples. The section on "Four Question Strategy" is priceless and takes students beyond cookbook-labs, helping them design their own inquiries. I teach science to upper elementary students, but this book can benefit all science educators, kindergarten through high school.

Clear & logical method for teaching investigation process.

I found this an extremely helpful guide for teaching my middle school students how to conduct an original investigation. Though at first glance there seems to be an overwhelming amount of details addressed, it is easy to pick and choose topics as needed. It makes a sometimes complex task manageable.
