The document discusses an initiative called the Northern Indiana Science, Math and Engineering Collaborative (NISMEC) which aims to change how science is taught through guided inquiry and engaging students like scientists. It notes traditional science teaching focuses on memorization while guided inquiry allows students to predict, observe and reflect like scientists. NISMEC works with schools to adopt guided inquiry curricula through teacher training and support, and has seen positive changes in schools that implement these methods.
