Scientifically based research, both on how students learn and on science education, has been critical for changing our views of how best to teach science at all levels, from kindergarten through college. Significant progress has been made, as codified through two rounds of US “national” science education standards (1996 and 2013). But much more is still needed. How might the world’s scientists band together to advance an even more ambitious strategy, in which “school science lessons” are extended to include student activities in the community, with the help of large numbers of scientist volunteers? Some prototypes exist; can we build on such efforts?
