Miller, Heather; Smith, Mandy McCormick; Trundle, Kathy Cabe – Science and Children, 2014
Teaching students to make daily weather observations is one way educators assist them as they learn to dress appropriately. In addition, it provides a natural and developmentally appropriate link between science and other curriculum areas, such as literacy and language development. The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead…

Weiland, Ingrid – Science and Children, 2011
Problem-based learning (PBL) is one approach to teaching science that supports the notion that students construct knowledge within contextual settings, and that critical thinking and application are best fostered within these realistic contexts. In other words, learning activities are best applied when they are authentic or embedded in real-life…

Tasci, Guntay – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
This study aims to analyze the process under which biology lessons are taught in terms of teaching quality criteria (TQC). Teaching quality is defined as the properties of efficient teaching and is considered to be the criteria used to measure teaching quality both in general and specific to a field. The data were collected through classroom…

Thompson, Stephen – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2007
This set of botany demonstrations is a continuation of the inquiry-based lecture activities that provide realistic connections to the history and nature of science and employ technology in data collection. The demonstrations also provide examples of inquiry-based teaching practices in the life sciences. (Contains 5 figures.) [For Part 1, see…

THE USE OF DATA SHEETS IS ENCOURAGED IN THE UNITS ON CLASSIFICATION. EACH STUDENT IS INSTRUCTED TO CLASSIFY TYPES OF LEAVES ACCORDING TO THEIR SIMILARITIES AND DISSIMILARITIES, AND THEN TO EXCHANGE LEAVES WITH ANOTHER STUDENT IN ORDER TO NOTICE IF INFORMATION ON A NEW SET OF LEAVES WOULD FIT ON THE SAME DATA SHEET. PLANTS ARE NEXT TO BE CLASSIFIED…

Peer reviewedKulas, Linda Lingenfelter – Science and Children, 1995
Describes the "I Wonder" project, which uses student questions to teach and enhance the science curriculum. Students kept journals to reflect upon classroom activities and document solutions to science and mathematics problems, and came up with the topics they wanted to investigate in the form of a question beginning with "I wonder". Includes…

Love, Nancy – Journal of Staff Development, 2004
Educators who thoroughly investigate data, raise questions, examine student learning, test their hypotheses, and then share their findings are mirroring effective math and science instruction. Using collaborative inquiry, data teams can help improve teacher knowledge and help teachers change their practice in ways that will enhance student…
