Student Services “The yardstick is whether
students…can understand as well as memorize, apply as well as state, imagine as well as copy, solve problems ratherthan shrug them off, and make themselves felt in a society that seems to be in trouble
for lack of thesecapacities.”
Harriet Tyson Science Education Guidebook
