9. Why Best Practice? Using these mentioned qualities mention in Zemelman et al. (2005) book Best Practices can contribute greatly to educator performance in teaching science as well as open up a world of exploration, providing a risk free learning environment for the most important stake holder, the student.
10. Questions to Consider What is the difference between inquiry and hands-on science? Is direct instruction the best method for teaching science? Why or why not? Should schools cover many topics over a period of time or should they focus on the more broad and fundamental concepts to build on?
