Griep’s publication lays out the steps that any college can take to strengthen student understanding about the roles that science plays in their community. The Sharing Cycle of Science Learning is a way to increase enrollment in tribal college science courses by showing students how the measurements they make in the lab relate to topics of interest to their community. Each laboratory session begins with a brief discussion about the ways in which that week’s measurements relate to the land, water, air, energy or natural resources in the students’ community and then the student analyzes relevant local materials.
