Take Home Messages
• All approaches to hands-on science are not alike – each approach has distinguishable characteristics
• Different approaches to hands-on science support different objectives for learning.
• Effective science teaching requires using a variety of approaches and matching the appropriate approach with specific content, process, and attitudinal learning goals.
“Inquiry isn’t a student’s ability to guess correctly. Rather it is the urge that sends us back to rethink our experiments and investigations, to revise our thoughts and answers.”
“Inquiry is realized in the coming together of material and learner.”
