Resources
Pennsylvania Building a Presence for Science is promoting high quality, inquiry centered programs for school districts. In moving to such programs, there are numerous resources available. We have attempted to include links to resources available online, and others in the Resources folder on the CD. Many of the books listed are available to be read online. Copies of Standards documents are located in the Standards section.
