	NAEP 1996 Science State Reports
		In 1996, the NAEP state assessment in science was administered at grade 8 only (although the Department of Defense schools arranged to have their students assessed at grade 4 as well).
		Since 1996 is the first year for an assessment constructed on the new framework and also the first time science has been assessed at the state level, there are no results to report from previous science assessments.
		A central category encompassing the nature of science and the nature of technology was woven throughout the assessment, as was a themes category representing major ideas or key concepts that transcend scientific disciplines.

	Integral Science
		While on the one hand, physical science has improved the material conditions of life, on the other hand, it has undermined the spiritual traditions which were the foundation of our religious and moral values.
		Nonetheless, societal conditioning and physical science, by subjecting our experiences to intersubjective agreement, train us to isolate and abstract from these private experiences the universal aspects that are independent of the observer.
		Since this extension of the epistemological basis of science embraces both the outer domain of physical science and the inner domain of spiritual traditions, it provides the foundation for an integral science that is comprehensive of both inner and outer experience.

		In short, just as DNA testing, the most important technological breakthrough of twentieth century forensic science, demonstrates that the problem of wrongful convictions in America is systemic and serious, Congress and the President, in our view, have eviscerated the "great writ" that for two centuries provided relief to those who were unjustly convicted.
		As of early 1996, researchers had found 28 such cases: DNA test results obtained subsequent to trial proved that, on the basis of DNA evidence, the convicted persons could not have committed the crimes for which they were incarcerated.
		As of early 1996, charges of tampering and of fabricating evidence had been dropped, leaving three charges for aggravated perjury in effect, for which Zain reportedly seeks dismissal on statute of limitations grounds.

		Benchmarks for Science Literacy is the Project 2061 statement of what all students should know and be able to do in science, mathematics, and technology by the end of grades 2, 5, 8, and 12.
		A 1996 study of Project 2061's influence on reform revealed that many state curriculum documents cite Project 2061 and its publications as key sources in their bibliographies, quote directly from the project's publications, or organize their own recommendations to parallel the 2061 documents.
		In support of K-12 science education reform, museums and science centers across the country are beginning to consider national, state, and local standards in developing their exhibits and programs.

	New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards - Science
		The science standards in this section, therefore, are not intended to include all of science, but rather are an attempt to define what all students should understand and be able to apply as they grow towards scientific literacy.
		Science should be taught at all levels with awareness of its connection to other subjects and the needs of society.
		Science is not merely a collection of facts and theories but a process, a way of thinking about and investigating the world in which we live.

		The church of St Michael and All Angels at Thornhill, near Dewsbury, is not a place normally regarded as a centre of learning, yet the Rector who died there 200 years ago was one of the greatest unsung scientists of all time.
		In 1767, when he was 43, he left Cambridge and the academic life, and went to the remote outback of Thornhill, now almost a suburb of Dewsbury, though perched on top of a steep hill.

		Computational science is the use of computationally intensive mathematical models to simulate or replicate real work conditions that are either too large or too small to replicate in a laboratory.
		Examples of need may include instances in which: (1) Existing computational science and environmental modeling curricula has not been designed for a certain audience; (2) Existing computational science and environmental modeling curricula cannot be adapted well to a particular local setting, and; (3) Existing curricula are not otherwise accessible.
		Finally, a project may address a high priority issue in computational science or environmental modeling education enrichment if the applicant demonstrates the importance of the issue to the community, state, or region being targeted by the project.

		So it was a good landscape, and relatively untouched, in that the earlier Mars science fiction had to work with very little information about the landscape, some of that wrong.
		Second, the lives we live now, when you think about them intensely, feel (from some angles) like they are centuries long, and us moving from period to period in our own history, so that after a while a period three or four back is like an earlier incarnation; and then we forget so much.
		In this way science fiction becomes the most powerful generator of poetry in our time: its metaphors are so striking and beautiful.

		When he challenged readers of Science News and The Mathematics Teacher to come up with his unpublished theorem, given only the four variations, no one reported success.
