Forest Bioproducts Research Initiative
Welcome
University Of Maine, FBRI Summer 2008
As a RET (research experience for teachers) and a REU (research experience for undergraduates) it is our job to identify research based curriculum that will introduce middle school students to the goals of FBRI. Although much of the research is more complicated than what most middle level students are able to comprehend, it will be our mission this summer to learn about all the different investigations and pull from them important concepts that are & can be introduced at the middle school level. We will use FBRI as the hook to get students interested in the sciences, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Descriptions of the summer REU research projects are posted in the category labeled “FBRI REU Research Summaries” along with the professor/s with whom you are working.
We hope this blog proves to be useful. It is a place to ask questions, share ideas and discuss your current research.
