Student Opinions Regarding Inquiry-Based Labs

Abstract
A survey of high school chemistry teachers in the U.S. indicated that 45.5% of these teachers are not using inquiry methods in their classroom. Perhaps they would be persuaded by student insights into learning with inquiry. This article describes the positive and negative sides of including inquiry laboratories in science classrooms. Student quotes are used to illustrate both benefits and drawbacks of the inquiry method.
