image: This cartoon, from the Atlas of Science Literacy, Volume 2, published by Project 2061, the science-education reform initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, illustrates the challenges that teachers face as they try to help students achieve science literacy. The cartoon was created by the late Andrew (Chick) Ahlgren (1936-2006), who brought map making and cartoons like this one to Project 2061, and helped to change thinking about science learning and teaching. Atlas 2 and its companion volume were jointly released by AAAS and the National Science Teachers Association to provide teachers with a grade-by-grade guide to science learning from kindergarten through 12th grade. view more
