Topper's TravelsTopper Kain's blog. Topper Kain is a world-famous kazoo player and traditional norwegian food chef. He wants you to use the comments. Thursday, April 05, 2007I was browsing the WASL science standards will waiting for a phone interview and I must say that I'm more than a little disappointed. As I could attest to from my experience in the Washington State school system, science education is heavy on what I call the "fluff" sciences, geography and biology, rather than the useful (and math heavy) sciences of physics, chemistry, and engineering(I'd say computer science too, but I have a bias it could be under math).In particular, I'm bothered (and boggled) by the sample 10th grade "science" test. It was entirely biology based. Although the experimental part of it was fine (a table of numbers is a table of numbers) the multiple-choice questions were purely biology based. More when I get more time... .: posted by Topper 12:35 PM
