Astronomy is considered by many to be a gateway science owing to its ability to inspire curiosity in everyone irrespective of age, culture, or general inclination towards science. Currently, where there is a global push to get more students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, astronomy provides an invaluable conduit to…

This study evaluated the effect of a pilot Pre-AP® Science Vertical Team Summer Institute on teacher practices and perceptions of the program. The overarching goals of the Vertical Teams Institute were focused on the tools needed to build or strengthen an AP® Vertical Team and to align science curriculum across grade levels. The evaluation also…

Gaubatz, Julie – Science Educator, 2013
Studies of high-school science course sequences have been limited primarily to a small number of site-specific investigations comparing traditional science sequences (e.g., Biology-Chemistry-Physics: BCP) to various Physics First-influenced sequences (Physics-Chemistry-Biology: PCB). The present study summarizes a five-year program evaluation…

Peer reviewedHerr, Norman Edward – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Surveyed schools to determine the relationships between honors and advanced placement (AP) science courses. Concludes that, once AP classes are established, honors classes typically undergo a period of redefinition and are either eliminated or assume subservient roles. (Contains 21 references.) (MDH)

Peer reviewedWarren, Grace – American Biology Teacher, 1984
Describes an advanced placement course, designed for ninth- and tenth-grade students with no prior chemistry, covering two years of content in a single year. Factors leading to course initiation, student selection, curriculum development, teaching methods, problems encountered, and overall results are considered. (JM)

Peer reviewedDoran, Rodney L. – Science Education, 1991
Synthesizes existing, isolated bits of information on U.S. secondary student enrollment in advanced science courses. Among the findings for grades 10, 11, and 12, the percentage of those students enrolled in Advanced Biology is 20, 26, and 54. Advanced Chemistry is 0, 33, and 67; and Advanced Physics is 0, 10, and 90. (PR)

Cacciatore, Kristen L.; Sevian, Hannah – Journal of Chemical Education, 2006
We present an alternative to a traditional first-year chemistry laboratory experiment. This experiment has four key features: students utilize stoichiometry, learn and apply principles of green chemistry, engage in authentic scientific inquiry, and discover why each part of a scientific lab report is necessary. The importance and essential…

Sadler, Philip M.; Tai, Robert H. – College and University, 2007
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the feasibility of accounting for student performance in advanced high school coursework through the adjustment of high school grade point average (HSGPA) while separating out variables that are independently considered in the admission process, e.g., SAT/ACT scores, community affluence, type of…

Peer reviewedHerr, Norman Edward – Science Education, 1991
Studied which of the formats for advanced science instruction, Advanced Placement (AP) or "honors," is more effective at fostering communication between educators and stimulating their professional development. Interviews (n=18) and mailed surveys (847 responses) provided data. Among the conclusions are that teachers believed the AP…
