Most importantly, the project allows instructors to show how various disciplines are connected to one another through a real world example. As a science teacher, I am most aware that it allows students to see a real world application for science learned in school books.
Students typically can see connections between science and the laboratory and with medicine.
They are seldom given opportunities to see how science may effect the global community. Here science is being used to cross borders and potentially help make a decision for the whole world. Politics, environmental interests, and science come together in real life to solve global problems. This project offers a glimpse of that. Teachers and students need access to computers that have internet connections as well as the program HyperStudio.
