About
Project-Based, Web-Assisted, and Active Assessment Strategies
Want your students to be more motivated to learn science and to know how to engage in science inquiry learning? Science As Inquiry provides you with the tools to help you succeed.
Teachers want practical strategies that work in the classroom, but also want compelling content and activities that will enable students to use their sense of wonder to explore science.
Delivering quality content, in-class and online activities and projects, and and engaging students in inquiry learning will help establish you as the outstanding teacher you are. Science as Inquiry is about helping you:
- access the tools of inquiry
- implement earth, environmental, life and physical science activities
- find key Internet projects you can use with your students
- assess students in ways that improve their learning
This website is based the 2011 Second Edition of Science as Inquiry. There are many activities and projects for you to use with your class right now. You might also want to purchase the eBook or hardcopy of my book, Science as Inquiry, available now from Good Year Publishing. Complete details on all of the tools of inquiry, and activities are included in the book.
Note: It is not necessary to purchase the book. This Website stands alone, offering you ideas and activities for teaching science K-12. I wish you the best in your work as a teacher.
