Description: | WISE (Web-Based Inquiry Science Environment) is a simple learning environment that allows students to examine real-world evidence and analyze current scientific controversies. Curriculum projects are designed to meet national and local standards and complement other science curricula for grades 5–12. Using a Web browser, students take notes, discuss theories, and organize their arguments. The Teacher Area lets teachers explore new projects and grade students' work on the Web. | ||
