SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE INQUIRY MILTON ACADEMY

June 23-25 2008

<http://www.milton.edu/scienceinquiry/institute.html>http://www.milton.edu/scienceinquiry/institute.html

Inquiry-based science:
What is it? Why is it important?
How can I teach it?
Inquiry-generating questions and pursuing answers-is essential activity for understanding and making progress in science. Numerous efforts to define inquiry-based learning, however, have fallen short of the mark. As a result, inquiry-based teaching of science is often thought to be difficult to do and more difficult to assess. This institute is for science teachers interested in developing inquiry-based curricula for their science courses. Participants will learn about the historical and social contexts of inquiry-based teaching; examine essential elements of this teaching model; and in a hands-on environment, learn how to revise old units or create new units that promote scientific inquiry.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:

Phil Sadler, Head of the Science Education Department

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Douglas Llewellyn, Teacher of Science Education and Educational Leadership
St. John Fisher College
