What if science class could be the launchpad for a lifetime of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking? In this inspiring episode, hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsey Crosland sit down with Jeff Burrell, a master teacher with over 30 years of experience, to explore the true power of science education. From hands-on robotics to peanut butter sandwich logic tests, Jeff shares how he helps students think deeply, fail forward, and discover truth—not just facts.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or lifelong learner, you’ll come away rethinking what it really means to teach—and learn—science.
