Do Current Water Standards Make a Splash?
By: Alyssa Geddie
This project navigates the current science education implemented in public schools through three different lenses: national standards and how those efforts compare to other countries which experience water scarcity or a push for additional water education, the local Maryland water curriculum to compare to national standards or Next Generation Science Standards, and what these standards mean for Maryland schools and the different activities or perspectives to teach water education. Throughout this project, the idea of biases and stakeholders can bring new insights to the discussion of whether standards should be amended and whether there is a difference between what the national standards require versus what Maryland schools will implement.
