This workshop uses the scientific inquiry process endorsed by the National Science Teachers Association as a framework to integrate technology into the secondary science classroom. Participants will engage in a variety of hands-on activities within each of the five steps of the inquiry process, including web resources, software, digital microscopes, and a variety of scientific probes. Examples will be presented in each of the steps of the inquiry process specific to biology, physics, chemistry, and earth systems. Participants will receive a workshop manual and CD to refer to both during the workshop and when they return to their classrooms. These workshops are supported with participant manuals, which provide in-depth guidance related to the workshop content. These manuals can be purchased separately through McREL.
