A student-centered collaborative learning environment focuses on students learning from and with each other; rather than giving students all the information they need to know, the students themselves will organize and re-present the information using poster paper or a dry erase easel, and will be able to develop and modify their ideas as they explain concepts to a partner using individual white boards. Students will participate in many group projects that will connect their real-world expertise to science concepts, all while developing their collaborative skills. Their creations will require some of the basics: scissors, glue, and paper. The goals of these different experiences are to empower students by making them the center of their own learning, and creating opportunities for engaging activities that tap into students' natural curiosity about the world around them.
