Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards: a guide for teaching and learning
http://books.nap.edu/html/inquiry_addendum/index.html
This World Wide Web (WWW) site contains an electronic version of a guide, the first of the planned addenda to the NATIONAL SCIENCE EDUCATION STANDARDS (NSES), that was written to discuss the meaning and multiple roles of inquiry in the classroom, summarize the research and scholarly writings that argue for the value of inquiry in science education, and identify actions that need to be taken to support inquiry in the classroom.

E Noethers discovery of the deep connection between symmetries and conservation laws

Emmy Noether proved two deep theorems, and their converses, on the connection between symmetries and conservation laws. Because these theorems are not in the mainstream of her scholarly work, which was the development of modern abstract algebra, it is of some historical.......
