At last, the secrets of scientific thought are revealed to the young student scientist!  This book explains the nuts and bolts of what, how, and why scientists do what they do best--inquiry.  Written by a scientist/educator, this rare book clearly describes the details of the critical thinking process that scientists use to inquire and add to knowledge about the natural world. Written for secondary teachers and high school students, it presents scientific thinking through the Research Investigation Process (RIP®), a critical thinking/inquiry process developed by the author, and is a must for any inquiry-based approach to science education.

This book was written based on the author's 30 years of experiences as a research scientist and 25 years of experiences as a science teacher.
