Foundation Science: A Comprehensive High School Curriculum

The Foundation Science curriculum is a comprehensive high school science curriculum comprising two semesters each of chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science.

Foundation Science includes two components:

  1. Narratives that engage students with problems whose solutions lead to an understanding of major scientific concepts
  2. Hands-on investigations supported by scientific literature that help students reach those solutions

Initial materials from this project have been successfully field-tested with a range of student populations throughout the country.

[This project is inactive but is presented here for archival purposes.]

Directors: June Foster , Jacqueline S. Miller, Ph.D.

Duration: 2004–2011
