ABSTRACT

The effort to change science courses one inquiry project at a time started with the knowledge integration perspective on learning and with extensive research on technology in the classroom (Linn & Hsi, 2000) . This prior work as well as the current research involved a col­ laborative partnership with expertise in all the relevant aspects of edu­ cation. This research provides a head start on designing inquiry proj­ ects that could convert students into lifelong science learners.
