Combined resources can help schools prepare better for the future. Business has an opportunity to identify competencies needed by its future work force and to assure the development of a pool of human resources who fit its requirements. The isolation of the classroom is countered as linkages are created. Knowledge of science enables the student to make informed decisions and to better understand the range and power of their own capabilities. A strong science, math and technology education program can help students sort fact from myth and put them in a better position to react to headlines and television.
Science is one of the crowning achievements of human intelligence.
Its study demonstrates the power of rational thought in understanding common and complex phenomena.
