Nicole Green: Better Science

from Species Unite · host Species Unite

"There's this hidden curriculum, right? With dissection you're supposed to be learning the anatomy, the physiology of a particular animal. But really, what students are learning is that these animals are meaningless. They're basically just a tool for you to cut into and then discard after you're done with your so-called learning." – Nicole Green    In US schools, kids dissect on millions of animals - frogs, dogs, cats, pigs and many other species and none of it is necessary. We have solutions and alternatives that are far better than cutting up dead animals.   Nicole Green is the director of Animalearn, a national advocacy program that helps educators and students find innovative, non-animal science teaching resources. For over 20 years Nicole has worked to enlighten the public about the latest technology that is available in the science education sector, including AR/VR.   Nicole and Animalearn are bringing these solutions to teachers, schools and kids all over the country.   If you want to learn more, or rent free, humane alternatives for your classroom, go to the Science Bank.
