New physics programs in Great Britain include a program with emphasis on mathematics and other sciences, and a joint honors program combining physics with another discipline, such as philosophy, economics, or English. Future programs may include even broader programs, in areas such as energy science or resources utilization. (MLH)

This book examines questions about the purposes and subject matter of the conventional junior high school science curriculum and presents more than twenty experimental instructional practices designed to improve science teaching at this level. The author recognizes the controversies surrounding organizational proposals for junior high school and…

Science outside the classroom is integrated by dealing with real problems in a real world which is opposite the precise, neat, and nonrelevant science that the student receives in school. (DF)
