Education Standards

Standards have been developed to determine what students, at each level of education, need to know. Read about the Standards Based Reform in Hawaii. Also, a variety of useful information specific to Hawaii can be found at Hawaii Content and Performance Standards Database.

Some Useful Links

Bugscope: an educational outreach program for K-12 classrooms allowing classrooms to design their own experiment and provide their own bugs to be imaged in the microscope at no cost... Download a virtual microscope. This simulation will handle both electron and optical microscope abilities. Caution: The best samples to use in the microscope are large files requiring long download times (the house fly for an electron microscope is 160MB). The site contains training material to understand exactly how the different types of microscopes work... Photographic camera images and electron microscope images can be found at nanoworld.
