Relationship to the National Science Education Standards
This mission aligns with two standards identified in the NSES: science as inquiry and science in personal and social perspectives. The charts on the following page identify how the mission aligns with each of these standards.
| Levels K–4 | How Mission Is Aligned |
|---|---|
| Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry | Students learn about different drugs and how they are used. Then they are invited to question whether they think these substances are helpful or harmful. |
| Levels K–4 | How Mission Is Aligned |
|---|---|
| Personal health | Students begin to develop an understanding of what drugs are and how they are used so that they can learn how to make decisions that affect their own health. |
