Figure 1. Science literacy assessment results from Spring 2007. Analysis of covariance
(ANCOVA) results indicate that students in the inquiry labs answered 3.9% more questions
correctly, consequently scoring significantly higher on the post science literacy assessment
than traditional lab students (F(1, 383) =12.21, N= 383, p= 0.0005). (*** p < 0.0001; ** p <
0.001; *p < 0.05).
