Produced under the direction of a committee of the Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education, this guide for teachers attempts to provide an understanding of the concept of teaching "inquiry" and how to apply it to science teaching in kindergarten through 12th grade settings. Inquiry is seen as a twofold process that encompasses both the abilities students should develop in order to design and conduct scientific investigations as well as the teaching and learning strategies that enable scientific concepts to be mastered through investigations.
