Learning how to learn

But it's not just learning things that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters. Norton Juster

Fascintated by a photo of a skeleton in the book on bodies, Lucas and Alex embarked on a self initaited learning project.  Step by step, they studied the photo and copied each element of the skeleton, from head to toes, onto their diagrams.  With help from a teacher, they carefully named and labeled each part.  An example of passionate learners, learning for the sake of learning.  And an early research project in action.
