Inquiry: IS NOT AN EITHER/OR PROPOSITION
NOT ALL HANDS-ON IS INQUIRY; NOT ALL INQUIRY IS HANDS ON
Inquiry involves students:  raising their own questions, planning designing, and conducting their own investigations
NO DICHOTOMY BETWEEN PROCESS AND CONTENT
Inquiry processes and the development of concepts work in concert
INQUIRY TEACHING IS NOT CHAOTIC-IT IS CAREFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED
Inquiry teaching requires a high level of organization, planning and structure both by teacher and student
