Abstract	By allowing students to develop and conduct research on biological or environmental problems they identify themselves, students gain a higher level of understanding and appreciation for science. To this end, teachers should incorporate student-driven research in biology and environmental science classes in lieu of cookbook laboratory activities with a specific expected outcome. In this article, the author describes a student-driven research project in which a high school class developed hypotheses and experimental design regarding wildlife ecology. (Contains 3 figures.)
