They discover that their arm spans are closely equivalent to the their heights.

More arm span measurements.

Here, wrist circumferences are measured.

Leg length will be compared to trunk height. Discussions will focus on student understanding of process skills and human body proportions.

Next, teachers investigate the properties of water. Here a teacher investigates a water "tornado" in a bottle. What makes it turn the direction it does?

These teachers are investigating what happens when an inverted tumbler is placed in water and water does not fill it. They infer why.

Teachers design and do their own experiments with water. They learn that inquiry is a way of finding out...a way to ask questions and seek answers...a way to learn that they can encourage among their students.

In this investigation, teachers investigate "Rainbow" glasses.
