Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards - A Guide for Teaching and Learning

This practical guide to teaching inquiry and teaching through inquiry is the long-awaited addendum to the 1996 National Science Education Standards. This terrific new book illustrates how inquiry-based education helps students learn science content, master how to do science, and truly understand the nature of science. It will be an important resource for all educators but especially relevant to those who help others understand why science can't be taught "the way it used to be."
