This course focuses on inquiry-based teaching and learning of science. It conceives science 

learning in a broad sense and examines its relationship to mathematics, communication, 

collaboration, theme studies. interdisciplinary learning, new technologies, and classroom 

diversity.

The particular focus is on chicken embryology through egg incubation, imaging technolgies, 

mathematics-based simulations, and interdisciplinary classroom activities (the Chickscope 

project). Although the course is listed for the summer session, the first meeting is Feb. 24 and 

the final one is Sep. 22. During the spring, students will work on school-based teams to 

develop and explore realizations of Chickscope. During a week in June the teams will present 

their results and publish them on the web.
