National Science Education Standards
The central vision of the NSE Standards is to teach science as
inquiry. The information activities should also be meaningful for students
so they will feel instrinsically motivated to study, investigate, and come to
authentic conclusions. The following chart shows the science process
standards that each of our activities address. Of course, each of these
activites also address many content standards related to molecular biology and
biotechnology.
