State College Science Program 6-12

"Science is at the heart of this country's ability to continue to innovate, lead, and create jobs of the future.  All students - whether they become technicians in a hospital, workers in high-tech manufacturing facility, or Ph.D researchers - must have a solid K-12 science education."

Excerpt from the Introduction to the Next Generation Science Standards
