What Works Clearinghouse - Now Reviewing Research and Curricula for Science Education

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is now conducting reviews of research on interventions designed to improve the science achievement of K–12 students. This new topic area aims to help educators make important decisions about curricula, supplemental products, and classroom methods.

By evaluating research on curricula and instructional strategies designed to improve the science achievement of K–12 students, the WWC will provide educators with insight on these important questions:

• Which interventions are effective in increasing students' learning of science content, processes, and skills?
  
• Are some interventions more effective than others for certain types of students, particularly students who are members of traditionally underserved populations in science education?
