  2. Increasing Inquiry • Convert traditional laboratory or classroom activities to inquiry or guided inquiry • Be willing to “let go” of some control • Start with what you want the students to know, then find a model or diagram to demonstrate and write questions that elicit the answers you want • Time spent is not necessarily increased over traditional methods • Students can still perform well on standardized tests

  3. Increasing Inquiry - Examples • Acid Nomenclature • Wave Nature of Light • Virtual Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

  4. Resources on the Web • Portaportal.com • ChemThink • CALM

  5. Alternative Assessments • Wiki for the History of the Atom • Family Science Night
