Abstract

This book discusses how to implement an inquiry-based, problem-solving approach to science education. Finkelstein shows parents and teachers how to help students to investigate their own scientific questions. Rather than a set of guidelines for science fair projects, this book presents a method for helping students to expand their creativity and develop logical thinking while learning science. Starting with an introduction to the brains-on method, this book explains brainstorming, experimental controls, collecting data, and how to streamline children's questions about science so that the questions define an experiment. Students will learn how to: ask good questions; clarify terminology; research, plan, and design experiments and controls; test assumptions; collect and analyse data; present results to others; and collaborate with adults.
