For teachers curious how to implement ?inquiry? learning as called for in the National Science Education Standards, this book provides detailed and practical guidance. It shows teachers how to transform ordinary lessons in ways that 1) encourage students to take initiative in posing scientific ?inquiry? questions; and 2) enable students to independently ?discover? answers to their questions by engaging in investigative practices and critically evaluating the findings. Inquiry\/Discovery practices can be introduced in stages, starting with simple activities and gradually increasing the levels of challenge.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Science Quest\u003c\/i\u003e includes everything a teacher needs to bring successful instruction, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive lesson planning and assessment tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuggestions on working with students in teams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScores of sample lessons from varied disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTHE AUTHORS \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRANK X.
