The Journal of the Learning Sciences, 8(3/4), 391-450. Quote from the abstract: "We have been exploring these challenges through a program of research on the use of scientific visualization technologies to support inquiry-based learning in the geosciences."

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
