An innovative project linking Scientists, Teachers, and Students to translate current scientific knowledge into teaching practices SCI-LINK is a model project for translating the results of current scientific research into teaching content and practices.

Leading educators are working together with leading scientists to increase their knowledge and skills utilizing the extraordinary resources of environmental research personnel and facilities of two major research universities and federal and state government agencies.

Science as a process, a body of knowledge, and as a way of thinking is incorporated in the SCI-LINK project. Middle, junior/senior high school teachers are linked with contemporary science, and develop individual classroom applications to enhance student learning with the cooperation of research scientists.

Through collaboration, an enduring network of contacts have been established between the personnel in university and government research and state and local education agencies in two states in different regions of the country. SCI-LINK is a practical means for the development of that vital link for teachers with topics of significant current concern to our society.
