ModelScholar transforms primary research into AP Science aligned learning experiences, helping students understand how scientific knowledge is created, interpreted, and communicated.
Our Vision
Science education often presents knowledge as a fixed set of facts to memorize. But real science is a dynamic process of asking questions, designing investigations, interpreting evidence, and revising understanding. ModelScholar bridges the gap between textbook learning and authentic scientific practice.
What We Do
We take peer-reviewed scientific research and transform it into accessible learning experiences designed for high school students. Each resource connects to AP Biology and AP Environmental Science curriculum, showing students how the concepts they learn in class are investigated by working scientists.
Our Approach
- Research summaries written in clear, student-friendly language
- Emphasis on data interpretation and scientific reasoning
- Direct connections to AP curriculum learning objectives
- Visual explanations of complex mechanisms
- Authentic scientific experiences through interactive features
Educational Philosophy
We believe students learn science best when they engage with authentic research. Rather than simplifying science to the point of losing its essence, we make real research accessible while preserving the nuance and uncertainty that characterize genuine scientific inquiry.
Our goal is not just to help students pass exams, but to develop the scientific reasoning skills they will use throughout their lives as informed citizens and future scientists.
