Doing Science activities with bare basics

This project, nicknamed SEE-SAW, is meant to provide opportunities for any student in any school to do science. Even for schools in the poorest countries of the world, with nearly no equipment or supplies for laboratory work, and without electricity, computers, and the Internet, this site provides access to legitimate science activities that are hands-on and experiential. These make use of bare basics like string, rubber bands, paper, dirt and sand, containers, measuring sticks and stop watches, which most schools can obtain.

These are lessons made for teachers and students in those schools that want to revolutionize how they teach and learn science, and have not only traditional lecture and memorization, but active, hands-on learning.

These are lessons developed and created by students, for students.

Once teachers and students become familiar with some of these labs and activities, the hope is they can unleash their own curiosities, ideas, and creativity to develop their own experiments and investigations. They will learn the process of science, and can become the scientist or engineer to try and answer their own questions, or solve some of their own local problems and issues.

See-saws only work when the riders work together, in a back-and-forth manner. Solving big problems like those that exist in global education can only be solved when we have that same type of back-and-forth exchange of ideas, resources, talent, and collaboration between teacher-teacher, teacher-student, student-student, teacher-parent, and parent-student. 

Let's tap into ALL the world's brain power to solve any problem and make new discoveries!
