As I am getting ready to start the unit on inquiry, I am plannig to do a read aloud for my students on A. G. Bell's discovery of the telephone. I did this one a number of years ago, before Raisse, but I did not have the students write their reactions. We just talked about it. The key point in this activity is that Bell actually did not follow the scientific method. This proves that sometimes scientific discovery comes from a serendiptous accident. I am looking forward to this activity
