With Out Science Inquiry Activities, Science Test Scores Are Better

http://www.artofteachingscience.org/2011/10/16/with-out-science-inquiry-activities-science-test-scores-are-better/ In an ar­ticle in the The Palm Beach News , sci­ence teach­ers dis­covered that when they threw out the re­com­mended sci­ence in­qui­ry and hands on ac­tivit­ies, their students im­proved their scores on the Florida Com­prehen­sive As­sess­ment Test (FCAT). I am not writ­ing this as a pro­test against these sci­ence teach­ers.
Students learn best when they actively participate in the learning process, when they are engaged and motivated to learn, and when they can build on their existing knowledge and understanding (NRC, 2000).
