The British Academy for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) published a report in 1867[2] calling for the teaching of "pure science" and training of the "scientific habit of mind."
During this period of time, many national science programs were started in an attempt to encourage science education in the United States including the Biological Science Curriculum Study, … Titled A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas, the publication promotes standardizing K-12 science education in the United States. In 2012 the National Academy of Sciences Committee on a Conceptual Framework for New K-12 Science Education Standards developed a guiding framework to standardize K-12 science education with the goal of organizing science education systematically across the K-12 years.
Sharp is said to have established a model for science to be taught throughout the British public school system.[1].
