This article is about Science and Technology Concepts for Middle School (STC) learning and Hypothesis Based Learning (HBL) as a tool to provide a less restrictive learning environment for students and allows students ownership of what they learn. In the example provided students are given safe liquids and told to mix then any way they want and record observations to find something interesting.

The article left me wanting more information.
