Our Approach
Confront authentic challenges
Students confront the same problems faced by scientists of history
rather than
passively absorb science facts from digital textbooks.
Run lab experiments
Students conduct their own experiments
rather than
watch someone else on youtube.
Make claims based on evidence
Students construct ideas from their own lab work
rather than
obsess about the right answer on the worksheet.
Create knowledge from first principles
Students build-up theories from the information they collect
rather than
blindly accept the conclusions of others.
Build understanding over time
Students see a picture unfold over time
rather than
cross learning standards off of a list.
Reflect on ideas
Student colloborate and reflect
rather than
compete on exams.
Do science when curious
Students gather supplies, logon, and run labs at their own pace
rather than
follow someone else's calendar.
Learn from stories
Students are immersed in stories, providing rich context and motivation
rather than
follow a textbook of sanatized performance tasks.
