Through analyses of disciplinary knowledge, school curricula, and classroom learning, the book uncovers flaws in the unifying dimensions of the science standards. It proposes respect for disciplinary diversity and attention to questions of value in choosing what science to teach.

Charles R. Ault, Jr. ("Kip"), professor emeritus, Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling, coordinated the school's Master of Arts in Teaching program for science teachers for more than two decades. Kip began his career teaching primary grades and middle school science in Connecticut and Colorado. Author of Do Elephants Have Knees? and Challenging Science Standards, his writing reflects an interest in paleontology and the value of subject diversity in the reform of school science.
