Richard Hiebert

In Richard Hiebert's Biology classes at Margaret Barbour Collegiate Institute in The Pas, Manitoba, students learn to apply their understanding of biological phenomena to solve problems. And if that challenge is determining whether the mad scientists in old horror movies could actually shrink a human skull, so be it. In Mr. Hiebert's opinion, coming up with the proper answers to even bizarre questions can only enhance a studentþs learning experience.
