TERC Inquiry Science

"Inquiry Science" is developing and studying web-based professional development that encourages productive classroom talk, helping teachers engage with science to linguistically meld subject (discipline) and practice (inquiry) to the benefit of their students.

Aligned with the NSF-funded Inquiry Project curriculum (grades 3-5 physical science), Inquiry Science professional development focuses on academically productive talk as central to student understanding in inquiry-based, conceptually-driven classroom study.

The web-based professional development resources will be available for teachers to use in the context of school-based study groups as they implement the Inquiry curriculum.

Use for professional development and classroom hands-on science needs.
