Governor Edward G. Rendell’s Science: It’s Elementary initiative will help bring science to life for hundreds of students across the state. The initiative will prepare 2,600 teachers to give nearly 59,000 students in 121 schools across 47 counties hands-on learning needed to explore the world of science. Science: It’s Elementary is expanding ASSET’s proven model of hands-on science materials and intensive teacher training to help Pennsylvania’s students meet the state standards in science—just in time for the first state science tests in the 2007-08 school year.
