Attempting to create the ultimate science project, a frustrated student receives assistance from a group of knowledgeable scientists. Some of the world's greatest scientific thinkers provide well needed insight about different projects through the process of "Science as Inquiry." Through engaging examples, viewers will learn how scientific evidence and explanation play important roles in scientific inquiry. Students will trace the path of scientific -- guided by knowledge, observations, ideas and questions -- as they combine scientific reasoning and critical thinking. Science as Inquiry in Action is a perfect way to encourage the pursuit of scientific discovery. 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.
