A video library for grade 1-8 teachers; 8 forty-five-minute video programs and guides

Meet eight elementary and middle school teachers who focus on scientific thinking. These unscripted programs capture several days in their classrooms, complete with the normal changes-of-plan and interruptions, to show inquiry-based science instruction as it unfolds. Each program begins with a science concept and a teacher explaining his or her goals. You'll then see the lesson in progress as students observe, analyze, develop theories, and reach conclusions. Finally, each teacher gives a candid review of the class response and an evaluation of his or her lesson.

Produced by North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL) in association with General Learning Video (GLV). 1995.
