The authors describe how to take simple traditional experiments on how air and water move (convect) when heated or cooled and put them together to inspire children to develop their own investigations. Moving from direct instruction to inquiry using a 3-step learning cycle, the authors guide students to develop the concept of convection and briefly describe the assessment. I would have liked to know more about the assessment, but I think that different levels would do it in different ways, anyway. Very clever lesson and I can't wait to try this with my classes
