"Evidence from this study of 18 states with high stakes tests is that
in all but one analysis, student learning is indeterminate, remains
at the same level it was before the policy was implemented, or
actually goes down when high stakes testing policies are instituted."

<http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/k0204jor.htm>: "Relatively limited
research has been conducted to quantify the impact of inquiry-based
science programs." That may be true for K-12 science programs, but it
is NOT true for undergraduate physics programs (e.g. Hake 2002b for a
review). The K-12 education community appears to be generally
oblivious of the introductory physics course reform efforts initiated
by the work of Halloun & Hestenes (1985 a,b) at Arizona State
University.

Science Helper K-8. 2003. According to information at
<http://learningteam.org/>: "Funded by the Carnegie Corporation of
New York, and created by a team of leading teachers, specialists, and
administrators, Science Helper K-8 CD-ROM offers 919 lesson plans
which are the culmination of 15 years of development, field-testing
and refinement. The lesson plans represent seven of the most
effective and influential science curricula ever written - COPES,
ESS, ESSP, MINNEMAST, SAPA, SCIS, and USMES. You can easily locate
the lesson you're looking for by grade level, subject, process skill,
keyword or content... then print it out. All in all, Science Helper
is the single most effective, most comprehensive way to expand your
K-8 science program immediately."
