Mueller, Andrea
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n4 p287-301 Win 2002
A grade 6/7 teacher and a teacher educator-researcher team-taught science to 29 students by framing science projects as adventure. Ethnographic data revealed that small-group instruction, whole-class discussions, and presentations to outside audiences provided progressive opportunities for students to exchange ideas and motivated students and teachers. Appendix summarizes three science "adventures." (Contains 35 references.) (TD)
