Summary Annotation The National Science Education Standards set broad content goals for teaching grades K-12. For science teaching programs to achieve these goals -- indeed, for science teaching to be most effective -- teachers and students need textbooks, lab kits, videos, and other materials that are clear, accurate, and help students achieve the goals set by the standards. Selecting Instructional Materials provides a rigorously field-tested procedure to help education decisionmakers evaluate and choose materials for the science classroom. The recommended procedure is unique, adaptable to local needs, and realistic given the time and money limitations typical to school districts
