Forget Textbooks and Memorizing: Curiosity and Observation Turn on Science Students at Pine Ridge Reservation.

Hamilton, Candy

Winds of Change, v7 n4 p74-79 Fall 1992

Pine Ridge Reservation schools use an interdisciplinary culture-based hands-on approach to science education. During a two-week summer science camp, elementary school teachers receive training in hands-on science instruction and apply their training with students. High school science classes incorporate Lakota culture and community problem solving. (SV)
