Featured Video: Science and Nature in Tandem with Youth, SANITY

Students entering the 9th grade at Tucson High school participated in SANITY, a field research experience at the American Museum of Natural History's Southwest Research Station in Arizona's beautiful Chiricahua Mountains. Students developed their own research projects and interacted with researchers visiting the station from around the world. New friendships and camaraderie with science teachers and students at Tucson Magnet High School also take shape during the experience that is SANITY. The program is funded by Tucson High Magnet School and the University of Arizona College of Science, with help from The Tucson Gear Up Project.
