Abstract:

The field of science is next in line for required student testing as part of the No Child Left Behind Act. What will be tested, how will it be tested, and what effect is the inclusion of science in NCLB testing going to have on teachers and kids? In this forum-style discussion from Threshold magazine (Spring 2005) , five science education experts make the case that as science education enters a new phase of accountability, it's critical to define what is essential science for learning in the 21st century.
