PRODUCT SUMMARY
Science is all around us at every moment of our lives. And when you least expect it, scientific inquiry can come to the rescue! In this exciting program, two young students find themselves trapped in their science classroom after everyone has left for the day. The young scientists must use the skills they have learned in science class to help them escape. As they delve into the scientific process, they encounter Benjamin Franklin, Marie Curie and George Washington Carver, who help them explore the principles of investigation and learn how to use their observations to build knowledgeable explanations for the questions they pose. Science as Inquiry for Children is a fun, exciting way to help young students develop an understanding and appreciation of the exciting world of science! This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Science as Inquiry: abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry and understanding about scientific inquiry. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
