Inquiries in Science® Environmental Science Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. 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.

A Carolina Exclusive! Grades 9–12. Students set up and observe an ecosystem advancing through the stages of ecological succession. They use these observations to track changes and predict the outcome of their ecosystem. As a final activity, students use an area around their school to conduct an investigation on the succession rate of a grass field and test ways to speed up the process.
