Scientists' concept map presentations were evaluated by the educators participating in the workshop. Participants were asked to rate each presentation according to four criteria:
- The Big Picture -- how well was the scientist's specific research question expanded to address broader issues and concerns and how clearly was that stated?
- Jargon -- how well did the scientists tailor their language to be accessible to a general audience or explain any jargon used?
- Concept map -- how well did the map itself organize the information being presented and help the audience understand important ideas?
- Take home message -- how memorable was the overall message of the presentation?

Quotes from Workshop Participants
"It was wonderful to have teachers and scientists who could "speak" together comfortably."
"I was expecting a certain level of interaction with teachers and scientists, but the actual working together on building a concept map was fantastic! I think that this is a wonderful, refreshing vehicle to get two communities of learners together to push science education to new heights!"
