- Title
Putting It All Together--Inquiry, Process, Science Concepts, and the Textbook.
- Authors
Esler, William K.
- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of inquiry, process, science concepts and textbooks in teaching science to elementary school children. Inquiry is happening when a child is required to go beyond the presented facts to gain new ideas and to form his own conclusions. The basic forms of inquiry are rational inquiry, inquiry by discovery and inquiry by experimentation. The process of science determines the skills scientists or children must do to conduct scientific inquiry. It is also recommended that science may best be studied as a number of big ideas or concepts.
