Peer reviewedStanley, Julian C.; Stanley, Barbara S. K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
At ages 11-15, 25 intellectually highly-able youths studied high school biology and 12 studied chemistry intensively for 3 summer weeks, after which their median score on the College Board's achievement test was 727 (biology) and 743 (chemistry). Implications of these and other results for science instruction are discussed. (JN)
