About the Book

This brief volume describes an innovative activity that can be used by museum professionals to foster two key inquiry skills-asking a good question and articulating discoveries. A hybrid between a research report and a how-to manual, it describes the development, evaluation, and results of Juicy Question, a collaborative activity designed to foster group inquiry among families or school field trips. The authors demonstrate how the activity changed the behavior of museum visitors and taught them important inquiry skills for use in other informal education settings. Sponsored by the Exploratorium, San Francisco.

Table of Contents:
Introduction, CHAPTER ONE The Value of Group Inquiry CHAPTER TWO Ask a Juicy Question CHAPTER THREE Why Juicy Question Works CHAPTER FOUR The Research Study CHAPTER FIVE Using Juicy Question

Review :
In an effort to encourage more self-motivated learning, educators at San Francisco's Exploratorium came up with an activity called 'Juicy Question.' ... If all goes according to plan, [visitors will] investigate and reflect [on an exhibit], thereby learning more about the process of scientific inquiry itself. This book details the 'Juicy Question' approach, describes the educational principles behind it and offers advice for adapting the game for your own museum. The promotion of such group inquiry, the authors believe, can advance school science education and encourage lifelong learning." - Museum Magazine
