Each map, such as those for Atlas of Science Literacy, Volume 1.">Natural Selection and Atlas of Science Literacy, Volume 1.">Statistical Reasoning, shows how students’ understanding of a particular topic might progress from the simplest ideas in kindergarten to more sophisticated ideas in high school.
In addition to the Atlas volumes, Popular Science Press has partnered with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) to publish translations of Project 2061’s earlier books, including Science for All Americans, Benchmarks for Science Literacy, and Designs for Science Literacy.
