New Standards for Teaching Middle School Science: Now That We Have Them, What Do We Do?
Harrington, Randal
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v13 n1 p37-46 Spr 1997
Describes an inquiry-based project on kinematics piloted at a rural middle school in 1996 by a Maine collaboration of university faculty, graduate students, and K-12 teachers. The group examines the new science standards, develops new curricula based on physics education research, helps middle-school teachers implement that curricula, and assesses the effectiveness of materials and methods.
