Science Education:

                              Kentucky and

National Level

 

Science Education is a very important aspect of the education totem pole.  Without science education we would not have doctors, pharmacists, engineers, geologists, physicists, chemists, astronauts, mathematicians, and many other professionals.  Without these professionals in our everyday lives we would not have many of the luxuries that we take for granted.  This web site is to offer several of the thousands of web links out there on the Internet to the areas that relate to science education at the state and national level.
