Exploring Life Evaluation
The National Science Foundation is evaluating a new high school biology program currently under development with Prentice-Hall School Group, a division of Pearson Education. This program is called Exploring Life. The curriculum is based on the National Science Education Standards and emphasizes an active, constructivist learning program that integrates interactive, Web-based instructional media. NSF funding will support the formative and summative evaluation of the curriculum, and will measure how well it helps students meet the Standards, impact student attitudes toward science and engage students in critical inquiry and dialog on scientific issues.
