Linda Jones (science education) encourages hands-on labs

A Palm Beach Post article reports the decision of a Palm Beach middle school to get rid of hands-on science labs in their classrooms, placing more emphasis on standardized testing like the FCAT. Associate professor Linda Jones, a proponent of hands-on learning, was quoted saying, “There’s no questioning whether hands-on is important. That’s been asked and answered.”
