Scientists seek to answer questions that nobody knows the answer to. Often, science classrooms solely focus on the information scientists have previously obtained at the expense of teaching students how to use the scientific process. My goal is to introduce students to this process by sharing with them the challenges and rewards of my research. I hope these activities allow students to see science in a new way.

Student v. Teacher Basketball Game
Yesterday was the Student v. Teacher Basketball game at Meredith Middle School. The Symbi program was well represented, as Peter Hondred (GK12 Fellow), Tim Weida (GK12 Teacher) and I took to the court, and showed students that scientists have skills outside of the laboratory and field... We are getting pretty good at SCHOOLING these students both in the classroom and on the court! Teachers continue their undefeated streak in this annual tradition.
