dc.description.abstractThe importance that districts have placed on the teaching of science in school systems has declined due to high-stakes testing for reading and math. Resources and science labs are few and far between especially in rural communities where money is scarce. This study provided information about the influences of science laboratories and quality science laboratory materials have on student learning and academic achievement in rural and suburban schools. The researcher provided data on the possible influence on science test scores and the schools capacity for inquiry-based science activities. Research showed that this was an indicator of a lack of interest in learning science. Research suggests that the long-term effect is fewer students will pursue careers in the science field. The hypothesis stated that there would be a negative influence on student learning due to how labs were taught and a negative influence on how teachers and students view science overall. Results of recent studies indicate a strong correlation between the use of science labs and test scores. The purpose of this research was to help guide educators and administration in finding alternative ways to teach science labs.en_US
