Science is tested only three times -- one in upper elementary (grade 4 or 5), once in middle school (6-8), and once in high school. So teaching data interpretation, scientific reasoning, data interpretation, and evaluating scientific arguments with evidence could be cut. More than half of states use an end of course in biology as the high school science accountability test so they can focus on tiny factoids rather than scientific sense making.
