Many of our QUEST stories aim to give context to the topics covered in the standards, but we know that it's not always easy to find what you are looking for. That said, we are currently working on a new system for finding stories for particular standards. Look for some changes in the next few months! ~ Jessica Hi Brian,

As we all know (or maybe don't?) California has gone insane over teaching to the standards it might be a good idea for QUEST to focus it's content production on these standards. This will increase the viewership and also increase teacher's ability to teach the standards and avoid persecution. Just an idea. Hopefully the standards will melt away as global warming increases and we can just focus on creating well rounded students instead of fact retention robots. Until then make a video on Biology standard 2b! Hello Jessica,
