Summary Note "What can a biscuit tell us about the Earth's resources and the importance of environmental conservation? How can a clear, colourless spray solution unveil a hidden message on a seemingly blank sign? Author Thomas O'Brien uses these and 20 other inquiry-oriented discrepant events - hands-on explorations or demonstrations in which the outcome is not what students expect - to challenge students' preconceived ideas and urge them to critically examine empirical evidence, draw logical inferences, and sceptically review their initial explanations with their peers ... Each chapter includes an introduction, an explanation of the science and science education concepts addressed, a materials list, teacher debriefing tools, safety notes and additional internet resources." - Back cover.
