Narrowing the Achievement Gap in Science.
Koba, Susan B.
Educational Leadership, v53 n8 p14-17 May 1996
An inner-city Omaha high school created an untracked, wholly desegregated 2-year thematic science curriculum for all 9th and 10th graders. Under the outdoor community study theme, students participate in a simulated archaeological dig of an Omaha Indian earth lodge, study the school grounds' ecological status, and design areas along a proposed nature trail.
