The Exploratorium Institute
for Inquiry received a major grant from the National
Science Foundation to create a series of workshops for introducing teachers to inquiry. Freely available guides provide step-by-step instructions and
access to complete materials online so professional
developers and teacher educators can present these
workshops on their own.
"Using hands-on experiences and focused reflection, Institute for Inquiry workshops give teachers a thorough grounding in the pedagogy and practice of science inquiry. Participants examine different ways of teaching hands-on science, explore the process skills of inquiry, engage in a full scientific inquiry, and consider ways to include inquiry in their own classrooms."
