Think Like A Scientist

Science education in the U.S. is transforming with the development of the new K-12 science standards which emphasize critical, analytical thinking, and time management. The new science standards integrate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content and thinking practices. Learning is in the students’ hands versus the traditional teacher led instruction seen in many science classrooms. For more details about the new K-12 Science Standards see the following articleby Kelly April Tyrrell in Delaware Online.
