NSTA Pathways to the Science Standards (Middle School) by Steven J. Rakow Price at time of review: $34.95 168 pp. NSTA Press Arlington, VA 1998 ISBN: 9780873551663 Grade Level: 5-8

Reviewed by Mike Bucci High School Teacher It is rare for a profession to reach national consensus about its vision for change. The National Science Education Standards represent just such a landmark effort. Science educators, scientists, administrators, businesspeople, and concerned citizens, with very different perspectives have joined forces to speak eloquently for science education in our schools.
