LESSONS OF TOMORROW

摘要

ITS TIME TO GET the next generation of scientists thinking about what's important, and you can help. Below are five education challenges chosen by the editors of Popular Science in partnership with Inno-Centive, a crowdsourcing firm in Waltham, Massachusetts. We invite you to devise a simple lesson plan for one or more of them. Each plan should be directed at middle-school students, involve at most three 50-minute sessions, and require less than $50 in materials. The most engrossing, informative and easily replicated approach in each area will earn you a yet-to-be-determined cash reward-and the chance to see your work implemented in classrooms across the country.
