Invitations to Science Inquiry:  Over 400 discrepant events to interest and motivate your students in learning Science.  This book is written and designed for teachers of science, particular for those at the upper elementary and junior high or intermediate level, for college students preparing to teach science, and for all those individuals who are interested in science.  The use of discrepant events in the teaching of science is one of the best methods to do just that:  to arouse interest and curiosity.  The discrepant event or counter-intuitive event in science is an occurrence or happening that goes counter to what one thinks likely.  This event is set up in such a way that it poses a question to the student.  This book is a collection of thoroughly tested discrepant events.  Emphasis has been placed on the use of simple materials.  A must have for all science teachers & enthusiastic!!!  (Author Tic L.
