Build the student's capacity for scientific inquiry. Emphasize the learning of scientific principles and investigation. Challenge him to build his use of pragmatism and logic by formulating consistent and substantive arguments to support his work. Encourage creative thinking and a sense of skepticism. Boost additional academic skills -- mathematics and anthropology, for example -- to assist the student in his scientific progression.
Make science interactive. Keep students engaged with hands-on activities. Balance passive learning experiences -- lectures and note taking, for example -- with active experiences in laboratories and the natural environment. Incorporate updated technologies into the learning experience. Partner with academic administrators, government agencies, and software and hardware manufacturers to keep relevant technologies in the classroom at an affordable cost.
Study 21st century scientific challenges. Investigate the complexities of human proteins, for example. Examine how and why the human body produces a versatility of proteins and how these proteins can change and take on diverse functional roles within the human organism. Review the harmful effects and possible remedies of increased population growth and greenhouse gases on fresh water depletion and global warming. Stay abreast of current issues and potential future problems to apply scientific advancements and discover answers.
