How will Swift help teach middle school science?
While the topic of gamma ray bursts is exciting, students need to learn much more to meet the national science academic standards for their grade level. Thus, the curriculum, for use in grades 5-8, goes beyond the discussion of gamma ray bursts, to cover several curriculum areas, many having links to mathematic standards, too.
