At King Middle School, Maine, USA students take an integrated approach to learning science through real world problem solving.  The closing student comments speak volumes about the learning expectations of today's students - "science is building, science is doing, science is creating ........ usually in school you learn about the things in the world that are bad, .......I think that school shouldn't be just about learning about problems, it should be about solving them."
