Good science starts with a question. This book offers a look into real classrooms where teachers use inquiry science to engage students in seeking answers the same ways real scientists do — they design experiments, make predictions, observe and describe, offer and test explanations, and share their conjectures with others. This practical book shows teachers how to:

• build on students' experiences, background knowledge, and readiness
• manage a diverse classroom during inquiry science exploration
• faciliatate science discussions
• deepen their own science content knowledge
• design experiments, make predictions, observe and describe, offer and test explanations, and share their conjectures with others.
