Museum Institute for Teaching Science, www.mits.org does alot of teacher
training. I contacted them to get publications with science activities, as I
develop an outreach program for schools. My take is that elementary teachers
welcome more training in using the inquiry approach. I suggest contacting
MITS and asking this question and I am interested in their response!
