need guidance to help them ask appropriate, testable questions; collect evidence; and analyze<br />

data. As students gain experience and confidence, they ask more appropriate questions<br />

and improve their skills at forming explanations. When students understand the essential<br />

features of inquiry, they can conduct an independent inquiry. BSCS Biology: A Human Approach<br />

is designed to help students understand biology concepts through the use of inquiry-based<br />

activities and constructivist learning strategies. As students move through this curriculum,<br />

they transition from activities that explicitly guide their inquiry to doing their own inquiry.<br />

Along their journey, students learn how asking questions, conducting experiments, gathering<br />

data, forming explanations, relating explanations to other applications, and communicating<br />

their explanations are valuable skills that help them evaluate science-related issues that are<br />

part of everyday life.<br />
