I would agree with Beryl.  We received a grant through NSF/NASA funded
ESSEA to produce an online professional development course for informal
educators, and will start our first course in a couple weeks.  Our goal
was to produce inquiry-based education, and the book Beryl mentions was
instrumental in getting our heads around this.
