5 out of 5 stars

Inquire Within, perhaps the best source on inquiry out there November 9, 2008
Inquire Within: Implementing Inquiry-Based Science Standards Llewellyn states that inquiry must be prepared in a crock pot, not a microwave. Meaning, to incorporate inquiry into your classroom, your grade level, and woven with your teaching style, takes time. Inquiry can have many definitions, yet the outcome from reading this book is that you can incorporate inquiry so very easily. A very reader friendly book that is on the top of my reference books on inquiry. I have taught 7th 8th grade science for 15 years, I am a staff developer, an adjunct instructor for science methods at a local teacher college, and I highly recommend Inquire Within.

5 out of 5 stars

An outstanding resource for teachers June 28, 2004
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

There are a plethora of books out about inquiry, the hot new buzzword in science education. This one has real substance. As a scientist, I think Llewellyn captures the true nature of science inquiry. As a teacher and professional developer, I especially like the self-assessments and rubrics to help make the transition from traditional practice to inquiry-based practice in the classroom. I use it so often that I keep losing it because I am always lending it to someone. This book will be useful to anyone who teaches science and wants to reach more kids more effectively.
