This volume emerged from an NSF sponsored conference on Inquiry Approaches to Science Teaching held at Hampshire College in June, 1996. STUDENT-ACTIVE SCIENCE emphasizes that experiencing the process of science is central to the learning of science.This book is a collection of articles, ideas, and models for science education reform and is the result of collaboration between instructors frustrated with the traditional approach to teaching. You'll find models and ideas that promote critical thinking and hands-on science in the classroom, as well as commentary from school-wide, department-wide and individual reform efforts.
