Scientific Process

Constructivist classrooms invite all children and teachers to consider themselves scientists.

Students understood the importance of conserving paper

Teachers can use this power to advance their learning goals.

The challenges are undertaken simply for the love of science!

A teacher should be free to harness student interest and use it to pursue her learning goals.
