Changing the Science Education Paradigm

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.
