Abstract
From a sample of 137 chemistry-related Web sites in the public domain, 17 were identified as Web-based inquiry activities (WBIs). Identification was made using an instrument developed in accord with national science standards. A multi-pass unanimous consensus analysis was used to examine how the 17 WBIs reflected the five essential elements of inquiry and to classify the WBIs accordingly. Instructional and design features of chemistry-related WBIs are described.

Brett CriswellJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 199-205Framing Inquiry in High School Chemistry: Helping Students See the Bigger Picture
Brett CriswellJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 199-205Inquiry has been advocated as an effective pedagogical strategy for promoting deep conceptual understanding and more sophisticated scientific thinking by numerous bodies associated with chemistry (and science) education. To allow inquiry to achieve these ...
Using Student-Developed, Inquiry-Based Experiments To Investigate the Contributions of Ca and Mg to Water Hardness
Shui-Ping Yang and Chung-Chia LiJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (4), 506Using Student-Developed, Inquiry-Based Experiments To Investigate the Contributions of Ca and Mg to Water Hardness
Shui-Ping Yang and Chung-Chia LiJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (4), 506This study provided a challenging opportunity for general chemistry students to mimic the scientific research process by solving a water-quality problem concerning individual calcium and magnesium concentrations. We found that general chemistry students ...
