Recently published research can be paired with engaging activities to keep students informed about the rapidly changing world of science. "Environmental Health Perspectives" (EHP), a peer-reviewed environmental health research journal (published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health), provides the EHP "Student Edition" for high school and college teachers and their students. The Student Edition is available online for free at "www.ehponline.org/science-ed." Each edition contains news articles that summarize a wide variety of scientific information and original research, which are paired with complementary lessons that introduce students to hot-off-the-press science. This article presents ways to integrate EHP's online content in the classroom. (Contains 2 figures.)
