Science education has a real problem. It doesn't involve much real science and fails to make connections to all of the wild places on our planet where science happens. Instead of learning about science, kids should be learning how to do science. We want real research based science education in the classroom, where kids (and teachers!) are excited about science, and have fun while they work. Can you picture a science classroom like this?

Let the field work begin.
Dr. Warner and I have landed in Orlando. It's past midnight Florida time. We still have a 90 minute drive ahead of us before we get some sleep. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow- placing 50 clay model lizards, placing 20 nest boxes, and measuring our islands. Can't wait for the morning.
