Science projects lead to very exciting activities that enhance digital and academic skills (researching, reading, writing, problem-solving, math) from basic literacy through HSE prep. What do you do to integrate science into your academic instruction, or better, integrate academic skills into science instruction? What can you adopt or adapt from all of the many resources published for K-12 learners? This one sounds promising.

As lifelong learners ourselves, let's talk! Let's share!
