Abstract	The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of inquiry-oriented laboratory experiences encountered in a science content course on the teaching strategies of in-service elementary science teachers. Ten teachers who had encountered inquiry-oriented laboratory experiences in a science content course and ten teachers selected from elementary schools of the same geographic areas who were not enrolled in the course were observed over a period of time in their science classes. Both pre- and post-tests were administered. The Instrument for Analysis of Science Teaching (IAST v.2) was used. The descriptive analysis of teaching strategies revealed the following points: (1) classes were dominated by the teacher with little initiation of activities or discussion on the part of the students, (2) the principal teaching strategy employed was a content-oriented lecture rather than exploratory discussion, and (3) most of the questions were cognitive rather than speculative; open-questions by the teacher were almost non-existent and substantive questions of students were minor.
