The effects of inquiry instruction on problem solving and conceptual knowledge in ninth grade physics class

This project documents the impact of inquiry instruction on two ninth grade physics classes. Problem solving skills, conceptual knowledge, and students' reactions to the teaching style were assessed while students studied rotational motion and energy. Students showed improvements in both proble...
