While visiting Coastal Marine Institute Laboratory they were reinvigorated to teach through a more hands on minds on approach. The SDSU laboratory allows for students to visit and volunteer while learning from undergraduate and graduate students about various methods of research. While there teachers participated in designing investigations to analyze what the significance of sea urchin population increasing. Then designing models to test what the projected outcome could lead to. With more real data to analyze students can understand the role and impact of science in their own lives.
