The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) pave the way for increased exposure to all disciplines of science for all students. This is a breakthrough, in particular, for girls, as research attributes gender disparities in science achievement, college graduation, and career success to an early “experience gap” between girls and boys. The vignette presented highlights an early exposure to engineering through a forest restoration project that girls found engaging. It underscores how the purposeful inclusion of effective strategies for girls can have a positive impact on their confidence as beginning scientists and engineers. Teacher background information, standards, assessments, and references are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, About the Editors, Contributors, Preface, and Index.
