Next Generation Science Standards

General

The Next Generation Science Standards have just been released. These standards recommend the teaching of science via hands-on approaches with a focus on the scientific process rather than memorizing factoids. They propose that climate change be an integral part of science education starting already in middle school. One can imagine great synergistic opportunities between the mathematics of sustainability and these new science standards. Here is an article from The New York Times discussing the new standards. Print versions of the report can be ordered here.
