This is the first, of two, Web Seminars scheduled as a follow-up to the Picture-Perfect Science Lessons: Using Children’s Books to Guide Inquiry, Grades K-4 Symposium that took place at the NSTA Area Conference on Science Education in Cincinnati, OH. In this program the presenters talked about the five features of inquiry and shared examples on how primary grade teachers can use picture books and inquiry to teach science in elementary school.

Participating educators represented the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. One participant attended the Web Seminar from Colombia and another from Washington DC.

Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:
- “I enjoyed participating in the chats and reading what others had to say.”
