Abstract	Problem solving is a valuable skill in the science classroom. Students often use a variety of inquiry strategies to identify problems and their implications; develop action plans; locate relevant sources, information, and data; and formulate solutions. Problem solving is a logical, analytical, and sometimes creative process. The less tangible, more challenging problem solving process is learning how to ask a good question. This article describes teaching and learning strategies that promote creative problem finding. The authors examined problem- finding factors that lead to high-quality science fair projects. They explored students' personal experiences in inquiry-based science classes that did and did not require them to problem find. The common characteristics that emerged across their studies led to practical strategies for teachers and students. (Contains 1 figure and 2 online resources.) (ERIC).
