Meet eight elementary and middle school teachers who focus on scientific thinking. These unscripted programs capture several days in their classrooms, complete with the normal changes-of-plan and interruptions, to show inquiry-based science instruction as it unfolds. Each program begins with a science concept and a teacher explaining his or her goals. You'll then see the lesson in progress as students observe, analyze, develop theories, and reach conclusions. Finally, each teacher gives a candid review of the class response and an evaluation of his or her lesson.
