If it is of any use, I had a Electronic Journal of Science Education paper out a year or two ago on geoscience inquiry. It is more middle-secondary in orientation: http://ejse.southwestern.edu/volumes/v12n2/articles/art1-pyle.pdf Regards, Eric Pyle ---- Original message ---- Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 19:33:13 -0500 From: Julie Libarkin <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Fwd: geoscience courses for elementary teachers To: <[log in to unmask]> All: Email David if you know of a "Geoscience By Inquiry" or similar curriculum. I think I've heard of someone working on this, but can't remember who! CC the list, too, if you don't mind - I'd like to know!

I'm thinking about something that would be analogous to Physics by Inquiry, or Physics and Everyday Thinking. Do you know people who are teaching such courses in earth and/or space science? -- David
