Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania department of education. State Summary Report. Harrisburg: , 2011. Web.
This pdf gave me insight into the Keystone exam results for 2011. This file goes into detail about how different people did on the keystone exams. The file shows how different races did as well. This file was useful because it gave me actual numbers for the keystones. It made my suspicions, that people did poorly on the exam, fact.

Defields, Lori. Personal Interview. 13 Feb 2013.
Mrs. Defields was quite helpful with insight into Central’s science programs. She was unable to compare Central’s program to other schools, but was helpful in other places. I was able to see what a “privileged” school did with funding of the sciences. Central is in the process of building a robotics lab with funding that they are receiving from alumni from the school.

Obama, Barack. State of the Union Address. Government. White House, Washington DC. 12 Feb. 2013. Address. <http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/state-of-the-union-2013-president-obamas-address-to-congress-transcript/2013/02/12/d429b574-7574-11e2-95e4-6148e45d7adb_story_4.html>

This source gives me a direct quote from the president. It helped me to get insight into the larger scheme of things. This quote helped me to see what the nation’s science program should be like and then compare it to the current science program locally.

"Temple University Newsroom." Improving Science Education in High School and beyond. N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Feb. 2013. <http://news.temple.edu/news/improving-science-education-high-school-and-beyond>

This source is supporting my topic. It shows that my topic goes beyond high schools. Temple University was given grants to find out the same things that I am trying to find out, why aren’t people studying science. “These grants are just two of several initiatives now underway at temple.” This statement alone proves that the STEM field in both high schools and colleges is slacking.
