The \u201cnational\u201d class consists of students from different schools all over Israel to study the same program as students from a school-based program study, but as distance learners. Following our previous research we developed a computerized, web-based, distance-learning program that is identical to the regular inquiry-based program. The students conduct all the inquiry-based lab activities with home-kits and through the instructions they find on the DENC website. All the field trips are implemented and students are supervised with the same intensity as a regular class, through the web tools.<\/p>\n<h3>Links for further reading<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/1098-2736(200012)37:103.0.CO;2-L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orion, N., Dubowski, Y. and Dodick, J.
