Mayo Clinic's Stephen Ekker, Ph.D., has the teachers from Lincoln K-8 Choice (Rochester, Minn.) in the lab developing science curriculum modules to enable youth to participate in real research. The project is intended to help teachers engage youth across the education continuum (not just in the science class period). Teachers from all grade levels and across all curriculum areas are involved to ensure inclusion of other content areas - history, political science, math, reading and more. Some of the kids got to come in and grade the modules...and the teachers! Watch the video to see more.

  • This is so exactly right! Teaching a lot of facts is pretty much meaningless. Teaching the process of science - having kids really explore - that gets them interested! Then if they need facts, they'll go get em. And having kids talk with scientists - awesome! We need more like this in our schools!!!

  • Thanks for covering this story!
