10th grade students were more likely to enroll in an elective chemistry course when in high inquiry versus low inquiry classrooms. Students who plan to enroll in elective class have more positive attitudes than those not planning to enroll. This effect was more pronounced in high inquiry classrooms. Low inquiry classrooms showed relatively no difference in attitude between enroll and non-enroll students. Students reasons for enrolling included future careers, learning more about science, and need for college. Students reasons for not enrolling included no future career in science, did not need science credits, and not interested in science.
