Their experiments are innovative and new. They break through new frontiers." -Dr. Peter Moller, Research Associate, the American Museum of Natural History in NY and Professor of Biopsychology, C.U.N.Y. |

Kava Decreases the Heart Rate of DaphniaRecent research shows that students learn best when they are highly motivated by the nature of the material to be learned. The RIP® promotes the desire to learn in students because it directs the instruction towards content material that is relevant to their lives, needs, and interests.
