Inquiry Works Best
Research shows that students learn science best by engaging in hands-on minds-on lessons through a inquiry based curriculum (Abell and Bryan, 1997; Stepans, et. al., 1995: Metz, 1995; Glasson, 1989).

What is “inquiry” in K-12 science education?
Inquiry as defined in the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1995)
… a multifaceted activity that involves making observations; posing questions; examining books and other sources of information to see what is already known; planning investigations; reviewing what is already known in light of experimental evidence; using tools to gather, analyze and interpret data; proposing answers, explanations and predictions; and communicating the results.
Inquiry requires identification of assumptions, use of critical and logical thinking, and consideration of alternative explanations.

Goals for All Students
Learn the principles and concepts of science (the big ideas).
Be able to do science (the procedural skills and mental reasoning abilities needed to carry out an investigation).
Understand the nature of science as a human activity, a way of constructing knowledge.

Skills are more important than knowledge
![Page 6: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
NSF Standards for Inquiry
Students should be able to: Identify questions and concepts for
identification Design and conduct investigations Use technology and math to aid an
investigation Formulate explanations using logic and
evidence Analyze alternative explanations Communicate and defend an argument
![Page 7: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
NSF Standards for Inquiry
Students should understand that in science: Investigations involve asking a question
and comparing the answer to what is known
Explanations emphasize evidence Explanations have logically consistent
arguments Investigations are repeatable by others Scientists make their results public, review
and ask each other questions
![Page 8: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Unexpected results are often the most important
![Page 9: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Classroom Inquiry as a Teaching and Learning
Strategy Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented
questions Learners give priority to evidence, which allows
them to develop and evaluate explanations that address scientifically oriented questions
Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions
Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations, particularly those reflecting scientific understanding
Learners communicate and justify their proposed explanations
![Page 10: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Research Base on Learning
People build new knowledge and understanding based on what they already know and believe (“prior knowledge”)
Understanding science is not just knowing facts; people must organize and actively build them into a conceptual framework to be useful in new settings (“constructivism”)
People need to monitor and reflect on their own learning as they learn (“metacognition”)
How People Learn, NRC 1999.
![Page 11: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How People Learn
Individuals do not obtain knowledge by internalizing it from the outside but by constructing it from within, in interaction with the environment (Kamii, Manning, & Manning, 1991; Perkins, 1992; Piaget, 1969; Vygotsky, 1978)
![Page 12: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Constructivism Constructivist views of learning provide
a theoretical framework to teachers in helping students reconstruct their own understanding through a process of interacting with objects in the environment and engaging in higher-level thinking and problem solving (Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer, & Scott, 1994).
![Page 13: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Inquiry Is Scientific MethodConstructivism provides the theoretical framework for all
forms of project-based learning (Grant, 2002).
PBS pedagogy (Schneider, Krajcik, Marx, & Soloway, 2002) assumes that students constantly ask and refine questions; design and conduct multiple investigations; gather, analyze, interpret, and draw conclusions from data; and report findings.
. . . by extension, learning scientific process (literacy) extends beyond the classroom (Bransfield etal, 1999).
![Page 14: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Science starts with careful observation
![Page 15: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Careful observation means being prepared (making
predictions)
![Page 16: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mastery of facts is not necessarily
understanding!Ideas must be organized or “built” by the learner into a conceptual framework in order to be useful.
Students sort physics problems by superficial features.
Experts sort problems by concepts.
![Page 17: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Monotillation of Traxoline
It is very important that you learn about traxoline. Traxoline is a new form of zionter. It is monotilled in Ceristanna. The Ceristannians gristerlate large amounts of fevon and then bracter it to quasel traxoline. Traxoline may well be one of our most lukised snezlaus in the future because of our zionter lescelidge.
1. What is traxoline?2. Where is traxoline monotilled?3. How is traxoline quaselled?4. Why is traxoline important?

Use Evolutionary Psychology
E.O. Wilson stated, the benefits of metaphor over analogy in teaching science is rooted in our evolutionary past. We use metaphor to make sense of our world.
![Page 19: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Scientific Method Scientists explore the physical
world for reproducible patterns which they represent by models and organize into theories according to laws (Hestenes, 2004).
![Page 20: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The acquisition of knowledge does not destroy the beauty of experience
![Page 21: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Strategies for helping concept-building
Plan activities (hands-on, minds-on) rather than lectures
Have students predict-observe-explain Have students work in groups Have students relate ideas to existing
knowledge Be “a guide on the side”, not “a sage
on the stage”
![Page 22: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Metacognition: Thinking about Thinking
Connecting new information to prior knowledge
Selecting thinking strategies deliberately
Planning, monitoring and evaluating own thinking processes
![Page 23: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A statistic requires at least three data points
![Page 24: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Common sense is part of science
Q. An army bus holds 36 soldiers. If 1128 soldiers are being bused to their training site, how many buses are needed?
A. 31 R 12B. 31C. 32
![Page 25: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Use Scientific Method Simply providing knowledge without
experience or vice versa does not seem to be sufficient for the development of metacognitive control (Livingston, 1996).
The scientific process (historically and in a philosophical perspective) is the ultimate metacognitive strategy for problem solving.
![Page 26: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Science is interdisciplinary
![Page 27: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Use your whole brain
Three books are sitting on a shelf. Each book is two inches thick with front and back covers 1/6th of an inch thick. If a book worm chews threw the books from page one of the first book to the last page of the last book, how many inches does the book worm chew through?
![Page 28: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conclusions are only as good as the assumptions that go
into them
![Page 29: Dr. Brad Hoge Director of HUNSTEM University of Houston Downtown (713) 221-8289 Hogeb@uhd](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815b68550346895dc95c1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
New discoveries lead to new problems
