The use of labs and hands-on learning has been wildly reseaerched. If students are engaged their learning is changed, they learn easier, and it becomes more relevant for them. The labs I requested are just that a way to increase understanding of two difficult concepts covered in Biology. Inquiries in Science classes can have a profound effect on student learning, when giving the tools to make learning fun, it can transformational.

I frequently spend my own money on my students, because I don't want them to have learning gaps.
