Local Recipients

Heather Friesen

At St. George's School of Montreal, Heather Friesen's biology classes don't exist in isolation from other science classes, from the rest of the school or from real life. Ms. Friesen uses the University of Alabama's integrated science program for students in grades 7 through 9. Students learn the physics, chemistry and biology related to each topic in the same course. Ms. Friesen also helps students publish research in the school's own scientific journal.
