Inquiries in Science Series

Inquiries in Science® Series Kits

Inquiries in Science® is an innovative product line that gives high school students a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Inquiries in Science® kits are designed to address the essential science content that provides a solid foundation for all high school students.


Improve Student Achievement

Using a learning cycle of Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage high school students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Disciplines and topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

Each kit includes lab supplies plus a teacher's manual with instructions, background information, reproducible student sheets, student questions, extension activities, and suggestions for differentiated instruction. Kits are available for Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science. The series is divided into "strands" but can also be purchased as the complete series.
