Science Scope Editorial Board

Science Scope is an award-winning, peer-reviewed, practitioners' journal for grade 6–8 teachers, university faculty responsible for teacher preparation, and state and district science supervisors and leaders. Science Scope is published six times a year and is available in print and as an e-journal. Science Scope subscribers are members of the National Science Teaching Association who select it as their preferred journal. We hope you will consider writing a manuscript for Science Scope to interest our readers and enhance middle school science teaching. NSTA offers no remuneration for published articles.

We seek manuscripts that detail innovative, classroom-tested middle school science activities and strategies that demonstrate current research regarding the teaching and learning of science as in the Framework for K–12 Science Education.
