"This experience has been fun, challenging, as well as educational. I have never had that "real" lab experience after getting my bio degree because I went right into my masters in education and then teaching. I am very happy to have this experience because now I know that I would never be able to do this fulltime. I like teaching much more. This was a great experience and I would recommend it to others."

"What is going to be really interesting is how this method can be used in the classroom. The general method of SCGE fits all of the criteria:   It is cheap, easy to perform; takes a short experiment lifecycle; is very senstive (which means results); can be interpreted by a variety of methods."

"Looking back, it was a positive experience that I was able to learn from. I am glad that I participated. I hope to remain in contact with some of the people that I have met during the summer, especially those at AL. I am excited to try out the lessons that I have developed for my students. I hope that they go well."

"I have certainly learned that I am not ready to jump into a research position.  I enjoyed the summer and would certainly recommend it to others.  I will definitely teach differently when it comes to the scientific method and describing how scientists work."
