This may include outside reading and/or finding related content on the web. It's usually not a time issue, but a priority issue with students as they don't want to give much effort at times. They have other activities like clubs and sports that they are involved in, it's hard to concentrate on science.

Inviting parents to follow class projects online through blogs or glogs may increase involvement. I grow weary with the "babysitting mindset" of parents who expect teachers to do everything. I like high expectations but I strongly believe parents are the most influential role models in students on every aspect of students' lives.
