The first one is the essence of science inquire and the characteristic, structure and type of the chemical inquire activities. The second one is the meaning of the inquire degree and the factors about it. The third one is the program on assessing the ID of the chemistry inquire teaching. The last one illustrate how to assessing the ID of the chemistry inquire teaching.
