In
this
activity
students
will
work
with
ice
to
learn
math
concepts:
perimeter,
diameter,
circumference,
adding
decimals,
and
linear
measurement.
This
math
lesson
will
evolve
into
an
inquiry-based
study
to
determine
if
the
dimensions
of
the
ice
will
make
a
difference
in
the
way
the
ice
floats
in
the
water.
The
inquiry
lesson
may
lead
to
further
inquiry-based
investigations
for
extended
learning

CoVis
is
a
community
of
thousands
of
students,
over
a
hundred
teachers,
and
dozens
of
researchers
all
working
to
improve
science
education
in
middle
and
high
schools.
They
do
this
by
approaching
the
learning
of
science
more
like
the
doing
of
science:
rather
than
depend
on
the
teaching
of
facts,
they
seek
to
reproduce
the
question-centered,
collaborative
practices
of
scientists,
using
advanced

The
constructivist
approach
to
science
education
is
recognized
as
being
valuable
for
building
deep
student
understanding
of
scientific
content
and
inquiry.
This
article
describes
a
study
in
which
researchers
introduced
a
constructivist
approach
in
two
teacher-training
courses
and
assessed
their
resulting

knowledge
with
examination-based
assessments.
