What's Happening . . .
High-quality science education gives students the chance to develop important tools that can help them to pursue a lifetime of learning. Having good science instruction from a young age means that kids can learn about what scientists really do and learn to use the language of science, which can inspire them to pursue it recreationally and professionally in their lives. Learning the core concepts of science is important, but they must be introduced in a manner that is appropriate for young students and allows them to gain deeper understanding by building upon their previous knowledge and experiences.Spotlight On . . .
