INQUIRY INVESTIGATIONS

Hands-On Science for the Digital Age Invite students to learn about their world with an innovative approach that makes science engaging, current and comprehensible. Our exclusive Inquiry Investigations™ program integrates hands-on activities that employ the latest lab technology with an interactive virtual lab experience ... a winning combination for students and teachers alike.

Inquiry Investigations

Structured for Success Inquiry Investigations™ modules are structured to engage students in problem-based science by focusing on real world challenges and solutions. Through active learning, students come to understand experimental design, observation, data interpretation, and analytical thinking. Each module features a comprehensive Curriculum Guide1, a Curriculum Resource CD-ROM2 and materials for 10 groups of 4 students, each in a handy storage centre.

Structured for How Students Learn Best Studies show that active learning is the most effective way for students to grasp science concepts, which is why handson activities are the centrepiece of Inquiry Investigations. Explore the latest in science - including genomics, advanced electrophoretic separation technology, biodiversity analysis, forensic DNA profile analysis and more.

A comprehensive culminating activity invites students to synthesize and apply what they've learned in the module. For maximum flexibility, modules and many individual kits are available separately.

The Support You Need for Excellent Outcomes You won't need a deep background in science to use this program—teacher support is found both in the Curriculum Guide and on the Curriculum Resource CD-ROM* that accompany each module. Support includes background information, step-by-step activity instructions, expected outcomes, teaching tips, glossaries, customizable content and assessment, and other tools designed to make you and your students successful.

Thorough Assessment Monitoring Inquiry Investigations™ includes questions and answers relating to each activity, as well as suggestions for additional activities to reinforce key concepts. Test questions are available in both practice and test modes and in five styles: multiple choice, concept mapping, matching, labelling, and essays.

Going Beyond the Traditional Lab Inquiry Investigations™ hands-on activities are accompanied by virtual labs. These innovative computer-based activities, conducted on a virtual workbench, allow students to expand their knowledge through additional experiments, including some that are too dangerous or equipment-intensive to be conducted in most classrooms. As with hands-on activities, results vary from student to student, adding to the authenticity of the virtual experience.

Structured for How You Teach Inquiry Investigations™ modules link to core science concepts, making them an ideal complement to existing curricula. Each module comprises 3–7 units (labs) that investigate major themes, and a related interactive virtual lab.
