It is the assertion of this team that an interactive series of modules geared towards increased comprehension of core concepts, coupled with applied models, and structured to augment traditional exercises will produce positive results, increasing student comprehension and success.
The intellectual merit of this project, especially the proposed interactive modules, is to replace the common misconception of many students, that science is learned through rote memorization, with that of a process emphasizing independent discovery of scientific concepts, facilitating intellectual and applied understanding.
