Frisco ISD teachers let students lead the way in a hands-on joint course
In an advanced course in biology at Frisco ISD's Independence High School, students are given some basic information and then set out to explore.
"I had no reference of what this was supposed to look like at all," said Anika Rajagopal, a ninth-grade student. It's a new way of learning that students say is more engaging and fun. During our visit, the students were learning about enzymes and how they help digest things. "They really don't know a lot about enzymes and what they do yet. Through the lab they're able to figure that out on their own," said Kristi Schoblocher, a teacher who is working with her fellow faculty to combine lesson plans.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
