Well, I did the glacier experiment. Thought it was cool. Hypothesised that the water would not overflow becasue of the already occuring displacment of water by ice. As far as what will happen if the polar ice caps melt, if the glaciers, or ice caps are already in the water than there will be no flooding. If they are on ground and melt then there will be flooding. My question is how do you start out teaching the inquary method to your students who are use to being spoon fed and not free thinkers?

Well, lets try this again. I have never used the 5E model of lesson planning and I found it challenging to say the least. A good one though. My kids are supposed to take whatever they can find and make slides. Insect parts, fibers,dirt,hair,skin, etc. They were suppose to discover that nature has patterns in it. That evertyting is made out of the same basic stuff yet it configures into different packages ie. patterns. I have not tried it yet. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Just started some classes for my masters.  They seem to be interesting and fun but full of work.  Good, a good challenge.  Got to tour some web sites, liked the NSTA web site the best.  Try it out.
