Krieger, James H.

Chemical and Engineering News, v62 n24 p26-28 Jun 11 1984

Preliminary analysis of the Second International Science Study shows, counter to trends in recent studies, improved overall science scores among fifth and ninth graders compared to the 1970s. In particular, fifth graders know more about biology and physical sciences and less about space travel compared to the 1970s. (JN)
