Good science instruction provides opportunities for students to develop understandings and skills necessary to function productively as problem-solvers in a scientific and technological world.  At Davies, we want to involve students in first-hand investigative experiences using inquiry.  Scientific inquiry provides the foundation for students to learn how to ask questions and use evidence to respond to them.  Coupling inquiry-based instruction with the content and processes of science as described in the Rhode Island K-12 Grade Span Expectations in Science provides the platform with which science educators can build success with their students.
