Wendy Hoffer Ward, author of Science as Thinking: The Constants and Variables of Inquiry Teaching<http://www.pebc.org/publications/products-page/teaching-methods/science-as-thinking> has put together a useful and practical presentation that I think you'll enjoy. Here are a few highlights:
* Find ways to make kits "minds on", not just "hands on"
* Learn a shorthand way to make a kit (or any lesson) more inquiry-based
* Make better use of science kit materials by choosing more specific goals
Registration required, webinar at no cost. To register: http://www.dmns.org/webinar
