This guide was developed to provide children with an opportunity to prepare and collect several common gases and to discover and work with some of their properties. The guide is divided into five major sections: (1) introduction, (2) materials, (3) activities, (4) balloons aloft, and (5) an appendix. The introduction provides information…

Control group students (receiving descriptive, non-inquiry science) and experimental group students (using Science Curriculum Improvement Study-SCIS "Interaction and Systems" materials) were later combined in grade 4 for instruction with SCIS "Subsystems and Variables" materials. Results show similar difficulties in learning…

Described is the kindergarten through eighth-grade science program of the Montgomery County Public Schools, Rockville, Maryland. This program places emphasis on biological science and physical science. Involved are activities selected from several sources, which emphasize the processes of science, the nature of science, and the substance of…

This guide provides opportunities for students to investigate several aspects of balancing including weighing, equilibrium, symmetry, gravity, and center of gravity, bringing mathematics and science together in activities involving graphing, inequalities, and number relations. This is divided into five major sections: (1) introduction, (2)…

A self-paced format is used to teach physical science on three levels: (1) regular program; (2) challenging readings and experiments for academically gifted; and (3) modified textbooks for students with reading/learning difficulties. (Author/JN)
