CoVis
is
a
community
of
thousands
of
students,
over
a
hundred
teachers,
and
dozens
of
researchers
all
working
to
improve
science
education
in
middle
and
high
schools.
They
do
this
by
approaching
the
learning
of
science
more
like
the
doing
of
science:
rather
than
depend
on
the
teaching
of
facts,
they
seek
to
reproduce
the
question-centered,
collaborative
practices
of
scientists,
using
advanced
communication
