Through Take Action Science Projects, your middle or high school students will take a tour of the world's problems and choose a science-related one that they really care about.

Then they'll decide on an action that will be fun as well as effective. Students can work by themselves, with a friend and/or with an organization as they apply science skills to help solve problems in the real world. The action they choose was done at home in our community. But you can modify this to be a school-based project too.

Our curriculum teaches them how to do scientific research, how to frame a problem statement, how to communicate clearly and how to manage projects from start to triumphant finish! Young people can make a difference to tomorrow’s world. We’ll help you show them how.

Please take a look around our website to learn more about our program. To obtain login information to access the REVISED teacher resources, simply use our Contact form and send us your name, school, and email. There is no charge for the Take Action Science Curriculum.
