Middle School Curriculum |
1. What do you think should be the main goals of the science curriculum for middle schools? What differences in goals, if any, should exist between middle and high school science?
2. Should the U.S. adopt a national science curriculum, or should it maintain the emphasis on a decentralized system of science education? Find and locate in the literature information about NSTA's "scope and sequence report."
3. What are the most important things a student should learn from (choose one area) Earth science, life science, physical science, general science?
4. Do you think requiring students to take a course in science in each year of high school a good idea? Why?
