This project is nearing completion of Foundation Science, a comprehensive high school science curriculum comprising two semesters each of chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science. Stimulating narratives engage students with problems whose solutions lead to an understanding of major scientific concepts. Hands-on investigations supported by scientific literature help students reach those solutions. Initial materials from this project have been successfully field-tested with a range of student populations throughout the country.
