tadams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I don't know about you but I have had a hard time working inquiry into my curriculum. When I would go to a workshop the topic would swing toward inquiry in the elementary setting. So, I purchased a book called Teaching Inquiry Based Chemistry: Student-Led Scientific Communities. ISBN # 0-325-00671-7 It is geared toward high school chemistry, is only 118 pages, gets to the point, and gives suggested activities for units. The authors are realistic in that they realize inquiry and teacher led instruction need to be balanced. You may choose not to implement the full strategy but there may be bits and pieces that would fit your style. Trina Adams Chemistry/Physics Marysville High School 785 562 5386
