Good, Messy, Frothing Fun

Science Scope -- April/May 2005

Teach your students the dangers of unsafe lab behavior without scaring them or boring them through this lab safety module.This investigative case is part of a larger program through Emory University and metro Atlanta public schools where graduate students involved in scientific research are partnered with public school teachers to implement Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Investigative Case-Based Learning (ICBL) as an alternative to traditional teaching methods of lecture and textbook-oriented class work to facilitate the retention and synthesis of concepts and terms through "cases." Cases involve messy, real-life scenerios and open-ended situations that push the learner to take an active and investigative role in the process of learning.
