Experiments with adapted apparatus which allow blind children to discover principles are described. Individualized experiences, specifically designed, are developed in four curricula and a sample lesson is presented. (EB)

Describes several class activities to introduce the metric system to seventh graders. Also presents three groups of activities that are used to individualize instruction. Students choose activities within each group, completing as many as contracted in the areas of (1) making something, (2) gathering experimental data, and (3) completing…

Sixth graders find out the do-it-yourself way of learning pays off when they construct their own instruments in their study of simple machines. Three machines were constructed. (EB)

The problems of individualizing instruction in elementary school science are discussed. A system for teachers to use to monitor their individualization efforts is also presented. (SA)

Certain generalizations about the educable retarded are presented. The need is for small group instruction and more time for a child to internalize science processes and information. Suggestions are given to help overcome attention span difficulties, problems of recall and difficulties with transfer. (EB)

Presents suggestions for helping children gain in spatial abilities. Activities are given which require that students use spatial concepts in order for them to be successful. (Author/SA)

Through the use of science-reading kits, one teacher develops practical application of children's reading skills. Each child designs and builds appropriate materials for science learning kit on the subject of his/her choice. (SA)
