"As emphasized in the [Next Generation Science Standard's, NGSS] Framework, an active learning of scientific practices is critical, and takes time. A focus on these practices, rather than on content alone, leads to a deep, sustained learning of the skills needed to be a successful adult, regardless of career choice. We must teach our science students to do something in science class, not to memorize facts."

—Bruce Alberts, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Science Magazine and two six-year term past President of the National Academy of Sciences.
