Each step in the model is clearly delineated and includes carefully and thoughtfully developed suggestions for instructional techniques and classroom questioning to invoke scientific and higher-order thinking to encourage student curiosity.

The Unit Opener provides suggested questions and ideas to introduce the unit content as well as an introduction to the recommended Lifestyle Challenge. You will also find the suggested unit inquiry descriptions and support in the Teach Using Inquiry section.

Thoughtful teacher support coordinates with the student materials and wraps the reduced Student Edition for ease of reference and clear mapping of instruction.
