Life in Motion
High school teachers across the country are being asked to bring the life sciences to life for their students through inquiry-based learning and open-ended experiments. They're racing to meet new expectations and standards while still contending with prescribed curricula, limited resources and a discipline changing at breakneck speed.


"Life in Motion" tells how one group of teachers came together to revitalize their classrooms. They participated in a summer biology institute of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation — one of many professional development programs for teachers supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Short and inspirational, "Life in Motion" shows how teachers from diverse backgrounds can work with scientists — and each other — to help students discover the excitement of today's biology.
