Science
as Inquiry
The
developers of this course believe that the best way for teachers
to acquire the skills needed to implement science as inquiry
in their classrooms is to let them experience such a classroom
themselves. Teachers participating in this course will experience
first-hand exactly how a teacher-mentor facilitates Earth
system science learning, given an open-learning curriculum
in an online, collaborative environment.
Teacher
participants will work in teams over the Internet. They will
investigate interesting, relevant environmental problems and
will generate products and answers that demonstrate deep understanding
of content, not rote memorization. Teachers will build their
own knowledge base of Earth system science in a way that is
creative and meaningful.
