HONOLULU -- ANOVA Science Education Corporation (ANOVA Science; http://www.anovascience.com) announced today that its subdivision, ANOVA Science Publishing, officially released two new science education books targeting secondary teachers and high school students. Both books, authored by scientist

and science education specialist Dr. Robert E. Landsman, support the nation's call to revamp science education through the teaching of scientific inquiry.

"RIP-ing Through Scientific Inquiry: Critical Thinking and Effective Decision Making Skills for Middle School and High School Science Education" introduces the Research Investigation Process (RIP(TM)). The RIP, a scientific inquiry program developed by the author, combines his thirty years of scientific research experience and fifteen years of teaching at the secondary level. This book can be used either independently or as a companion to "Data Analysis and Decision Making in Scientific Inquiry: A Statistical Approach for Middle School and High School Science Education." This student-friendly guidebook illustrates how to summarize and analyze data collected in scientific inquiry-based field and laboratory studies.

"These publications provide ANOVA Science the opportunity to introduce the RIP on a national level to support student achievement across the country," commented Dr. Landsman, also president of the corporation. Recently highlighted in the National Science Teachers Association's "Exemplary Science" series publication, "Exemplary Science in Grades 9-12: Standards-Based Success Stories," this scientific research-based program is recognized as one of the Nation's 15 Exemplar Programs in high school science education based on evidence from secondary level student products and impact on post-secondary academic and career performance.

As sole distributor of products and services associated with the Research Investigation Process (RIP(TM)) inquiry-based science education program for K-12 schools, the contribution of ANOVA Science's vision, services, and products toward the nation's movement for science education reform has been recognized and is well-received by national and state education organizations.
