My quest began with a desire to equip my students with the ability to not only think for themselves, but for them to be able to apply the powerful tools of scientific investigation to their world. The model I initially placed the greatest hope in, open-ended inquiry, proved to be unworkable in the form in which it was attempted. Though my intention was to accomplish this initiation in the first six weeks of instruction, such a brief introduction proved inadequate. Students were unable to move beyond the exploratory phase of inquiry, using an open-ended model.
