The Web of Inquiry is a web-based system that helps students, teachers, and researchers learn science through doing inquiry projects. Do you have a research topic that you want to investigate? Do you want advice on how to do a science project? Do you want to build science curricula for your class? Do you want to include assessment in your projects? The Web of Inquiry is designed to help with all of these tasks and more.

The ThinkerTools Force-and-Motion software provides interactive simulations of force-and-motion phenomena. Students can experiment with and modify the simulations in various ways, so that they develop and investigate alternative models of force and motion. |
