Can you tell us a bit what the link is about?

These were the awarded teachers from the Nat Science Assoc, for new teaching styles , with easy to implement modules , to teach all students science, with existing and cheap tech.

lots of forward thinking, and most using hands on science, scientific technique, and designing experiments themselves.

Is this the same as letting kids explore and then explaining what it is they are seeing/sensing, peer-learning rather than locking them up and telling them that they have to read 10pages of book/etc. If so I think it is a great idea and that more teachers should be doing that vs making kids dislike science due the stress/workload involved with the teaching style.
