The Inquiry-based Science Project (ISP) Tutor (being developed under a grant from the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences) is a free tutor that will allow students to investigate a research question in a chosen area of science. This project builds upon a previously-developed computer tutor, the TED Tutor (funded by grants from IES and NSF), which supports late-elementary and middle school students' learning of experimental design.

The lessons on this website will be integrated in the final ISP Tutor. Lessons are designed for middle school students, but some are appropriate for older and younger students. You can access Science Games, Product Demos, Information for Using the Tutor, etc. by clicking in the black menu bar above.
