Comments from participants:
- "I enjoyed the challenge of thinking like a scientist; using inquiry, modeling, etc. I felt full of knowledge at the end of each day. It was more than just enough to get through a middle school course. It really helped me to understand the concepts on an adult level."
- "Both teachers were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and interesting. There was a good mix of class time, field trips, videos, speakers, and hands-on lessons. They were clear about expectations and were willing to re-explain concepts."
- "Because of my greater content knowledge, I will be able to explain difficult concepts to my students. Also, I am walking away with numerous hands-on and inquiry-based labs that I plan to use in my classes."
- "Great class – very much worth the time and effort. This was one of the best and most useful classes I have taken."
