The Natural Inquirer journal was originally published in 1998 as a free journal for teens to allow scientists to share their research with students. In my opinion, this is such an ideal product because it allows older kids to have a better understanding of the types of scientific questions being asked, the types of research being done, and the types of scientists who are interested in this work. If it’s our goal to encourage high school students to pursue science occupations when they enter college, they need to know what their options are.
TIP: We love the “Meet the Scientists!” write ups that tell who the scientists are, what their favorite scientific activities are, how they do their research, etc. It’s great insight into the scientific realm of solving real-world problems and answering real-world questions.
