In the experiment of our lives, we are either the lab rat or the scientist. This is an important choice. Scientists win Nobel prizes. Things go badly for rats.

Experiment You
Engages students as scientists, innovators and engineers their own life experiment.
How can you become stronger and healthier?
How can you learn and remember more?
How can you create successful futures for yourself and your community?
Students will choose one personal goal and one group goal.
Students create baseline measurements of where they start, develop a plan and chart their progress as they work to accomplishing these goals.
Teachers and parents can also join in, developing their own plans to accomplish their goals. It is important that students see adults working to achieve goals. And there is no better enforcement mechanism than a classroom of students looking over their teachers progress.
Experiment you enables students to use their own observations, learning and problem solving skills
to solve problems that matter to them.
Try this for a month in your classroom..and let us know how your experiment comes out.
