Chemistry and the National Science Education Standards
Hi-Res PDFAbstract
Some chemistry teachers, on reading the 9-12 National Science Education Standards, have concluded that (i) "there is not much chemistry in the Standards," and (ii) they are already teaching chemistry at a level that far exceeds the National Standards. The first conclusion is inaccurate, the second is probably inaccurate.

Michael J. SangerJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (2), 297A previous study showed that elementary teaching majors enrolled in an inquiry-based physical science course developed chemistry content knowledge comparable to that of students enrolled in traditional lecture-based courses. This current study compares ...
