I think as educators we already knew that math and science were content disciplines that went hand-in-hand. On July 26, 2007 CNN published research supported by the National Science Foundation in an article titled "Want to be good at science? Take lots of math," that links the impact math has on science.
In fact, according to this study, "students who had more math courses in high school did better in all types of science once they got to college..." this latest research revealed.
What I didn't know is that the order of how science courses have been taught to students have been in debate for over a century, which is the order I'm familiar with...biology first, then chemistry and finally physics.
Probably one the most significant statements from this article was that, "...high school science teachers, (should) make sure there is lots of math in whatever science course they teach."
Critics were quick to caution, "...that a correlation isn't necessarily the same as cause and effect."
