RIP Savvy Students Use Scientific Inquiry to Solve Problems in the School Yard

ANOVA Science Education Corporation is a science education professional development RIP® service provider and publisher, under the name ANOVA Science Publishing, for RIP® (Research Investigation Process) science education materials. The corporate mission is to assist United States institutions in the revamping of K-12 education, with emphasis on critical thinking and science. Our main goal is to provide to schools RIP® products and RIP® services that help to produce students who meet or exceed state and National Science Education Standards, who can function in society as scientifically-literate consumers of scientific information, and who pursue careers in science and science education.

Our research-based approach to science education through scientific inquiry emphasizes:

  •  teaching science through inquiry.

  •  increasing scientific literacy and critical

    thinking and decision-making abilities in ALL

    K-12 students.

   •  promoting scientific reasoning as a tool for

    educated consumption of health and science

    information.

  •  producing students who are encouraged  

     to consider careers in science.

   •  producing citizens capable of

     contributing to the maintenance of our

     country's economic leadership role in the

     world and to the development of homeland

      security.

ANOVA Science Education employs a critical thinking model called the Research Investigation Process, or RIP ®, developed by neuroscientist and company president and founder Dr. Robert Landsman.  The RIP utilizes the same inquiry and thinking skills that scientists use to learn about the natural world.  The RIP fosters students who become life-long learners and valuable contributors to society while they are still in school and beyond.

As a critical thinking paradigm, the RIP is readily applicable to learning in all content areas.  RIP-based learning places the student in the role of instructional partner with the teacher.  Students learn through the context of answering their own questions that are relevant to their own lives and interests.

ANOVA Science Education services public and private school districts and schools on the continental USA and in Hawaii through teacher and administrator seminars and workshops. Our products and services are available for worldwide distribution.
