Inquiry Experiences for Elementary Education.
Hill, Douglas M.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v14 n4 p349-51 Feb 1985
Discusses the need for preservice elementary teachers to experience inquiry first-hand, suggesting that they engage in problem-solving rather than just "talking about" it. A typical teacher education program is described with suggestions to incorporate inquiry-oriented experiences. An inquiry-oriented activity using sand and funnels is included. (DH)
