Nathan Hale Science teachers Matt Hinckley and Karl Englert, and Math teacher Brian Coon recently published an article in the January 2009 edition of The Science Teacher titled "Arctic Research and Writing: a Lasting Legacy of the International Polar Year." The article chronicles their experience working with students and professional scientests on polar ice research funded by a National Science Foundation grant.
Their conclusion? They saw "improved student interest" as students learned about the "real work of scientists and how it relates to important issues such as global warming."
We are fortunate to have working Scientists in our community!
