This document is designed to provide practical information for teaching the Science 20-30 Program of Studies. The first section provides an overview of Science 20, explaining the program philosophy as well as clearly demonstrating how the program articulates with the junior and senior high science courses. The use of concept connections and…

An elementary activity based energy education unit which utilizes student contracts is described. Examples of the preparation involved, student involvement entailed, and examples of contracts and grading criteria are included. (DS)

Describes science activities in a sixth-grade classroom and a physical science workshop for elementary school (K-4) teachers. Also describes an energy newsletter ("Arizona Energy Education") and a week-long science project in all classes/subjects at an elementary school, each day having a different science theme. (JN)

The Zimbabwe Secondary School Science Project (ZIM-SCI) developed student study guides, corresponding teaching guides, and science kits for a low-cost science course which could be taught during the first 2 years of secondary school without the aid of qualified teachers and conventional laboratories. This teaching guide, designed to be read in…

Seychelles Integrated Science (SIS), a 3-year laboratory-based science program for students (ages 11-15) in upper primary grades 7, 8, and 9, was developed from an extensive evaluation and modification of previous P7-P9 materials. This P9 SIS unit deals with: (1) the importance of energy in students' everyday lives; (2) energy forms and…

Describes a course to present secondary teachers with an overview of the energy problem and provide technical background required for an understanding of energy conservation methods and future alternatives. Emphasis placed on subject matter that can be incorporated into secondary school curricula. (Author/JN)

Reports results of the Energyport Project, which involved sixth graders of all performance levels in energy study. The project was designed to demonstrate the relationship between energy sources and their economic impact on the community and increase student awareness of the effects of different energy sources on the environment.
