Science Frameworks
 The Tech puts students in touch with the Silicon Valley technologies of today and tomorrow through hundreds of interactive exhibits in 6 themed galleries. Each gallery includes demonstrations and hands-on activities.
This section describes how The Tech's 4 main galleries align with the California Science Framework. 
Tech Topics
TechTopics connects the rich educational resources of The Tech and WebLearning to standards-based science education for students and their teachers, in the classroom or at home.
Fostering Active Learning Experiences
The Science Framework was developed by a committee of science educators from the primary through university levels. Adopted by the California State Board of Education, the framework incorporates the Board's policy statement on the teaching of the natural sciences, which aims to ensure that the ideas of science are made clear to students and that they can learn and appreciate the differences between fact and theory, belief and dogma. The framework also fosters active learning experiences at all grade levels for the physical and earth sciences as well as the natural sciences.
Information concerning the implementation of the Science Framework and other documents may be obtained from the California Department of Education - Science & EE Unit, your county office of education, or from district curriculum personnel.
