Science as Inquiry in the Secondary Setting

Science as Inquiry in the Secondary Setting
This book does a good job of explaining the research behind inquiry and does give anecdotal information as well. It didn't apply to as much of the middle school subject matter as I had hoped, but so few books do. My favorite part was a dialog between a teacher and a student during an inquiry lesson. It was dead on what it sounds like and may help a teacher begining inquiry to understand what will happen and how to do deal with it in the classroom.

Everyday Science Mysteries: Stories for Inquiry
This book provides stories that can be used as hooks into lesson. For instance if you are teaching about matter expansion and contraction there is a story about how the gas in a balloon will contract making the balloon appear as if it has a leak, only to expand again once it has warmed up. This is a good tool for teaching. The contents are set up well in that the different areas of science are identified. If you are looking for physical science it has them listed in such a format.
