“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” –Confucius

Educators recognize students have a variety of learning styles, but the most powerful way to learn Chemistry is through conducting research.  Beyond building foundational knowledge, research provides a platform to develop logical and analytic problem-solving skills.  As students generate their own hypotheses, their minds transform as they become creative and independent researcher-scholars.  The Newhouse group cultivates an atmosphere that facilitates this process.
