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. They know their students bet­t­er than you and I, but I want to use this case as a way to talk about the Col­later­al Damage (as de­scribed by Sharon Nic­hols & David Be­rlin­er in their book ) caused by high-stakes test­ing. The teach­ers ex­plained that they be­lieved that using tech­nology (Power­point pre­sen­ta­tions), and de­monstra­tions, they could teach the con­tent bet­t­er than if the students spent time doing hands on ac­tivit­ies, that they claimed were viewed by the students as “play time.”
