SCIENCE EDUCATION STANDARDS In many US states, K-12 Educator s must adhere to rigid standards or Framework s of what content is to be taught to which age groups. Unfortunately, this often means teachers rush to "cover" the material, without truly "teaching" it. In addition, the ''process'' of science is often overlooked, such as the Scientific Method , and Critical Thinking , producing students who can pass Multiple Choice Test s (such as the New York Regents exams and the Massachusetts MCAS ), but cannot solve complex problems. Although at the college level American science education tends to be less regulated, it is actually more rigorous, with teachers and professors fitting more content into the same time period. UNITED KINGDOM In UK School s science is generally taught as a single subject Science until age 14-16 then splits into subject specific A Level s ( Physics , Chemistry and Biology ). SEE ALSO
