“Active Science has transformed the way my students perceive themselves. As educators, we see our students’ potential and facilitate their natural ability to inquire about the world around them. Active Science allowed my students to view themselves as scientists for the first time! The hands-on approach to learning promoted greater understanding and motivation. My students and I gained a greater sense of unity as we engaged in teamwork and problem-solving strategies.” - Katherine Pereda, Addison School District 4
