Researchers Call For More Materials Science In School, Nature
 









Excerpts: Last month the National Science Foundation brought 90 teachers to a
Materials Research Society meeting in Boston for a symposium on teaching
materials science in schools. It has also been expanding its Research Experience
for Teachers (RET) programme, (...) to train at materials-science departments in
leading universities.
RET programmes have helped teachers develop ways of introducing such topics into
the classroom. (...)

But some teachers worry that the No Child Left Behind act, which calls for
standardized testing on core subjects, will squeeze out more specialized
teaching.
