| ASD Science Kits and curriculum supports Inquiry science teaching. There are certain thinking skills associated with science, mathmatics and technology that young people need to develop during their school years. These are logical skills that are essential tools for both formal and informal learning and for a lifetime of participation in society as a whole. Participating in inquiry science will help students develop these habits of mind which relate directly to a person's outlook on knowlege and learning and ways of thinking and acting. (Adapted from Science for All Americans) Inquiry can take on many different forms, ranging from student-initiated, open-ended inquiries to highly structured teacher investigations. The form depends on the educational goals and both of these extremes have a place in the science classroom. |
