This publication is intended to orient teachers in the philosophy and techniques of teaching Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) materials. The concepts related to heat and particles are developed gradually using an activity-centered approach. The materials are self-instructional and no time limit is set for the completion of any…

This handbook provides the elements of a teacher training program for Elementary Science Study, an elementary school science curriculum developed by the Education Development Center. It contains a detailed description of the lessons that make up the teacher training program. Each lesson contains a description of the rationale for that lesson, a…

Nuffield Secondary Science is a set of tested materials from which teachers can prepare courses for students in grades 9-11 (approximately) who do not intend to major in science. The materials are designed for British secondary schools, and the examples are often British, although many of the suggested activities are adaptable to other countries.…

Stresses the fact that science activities can be styled to the visually handicapped students' levels and degrees of independence. Use of extensive hands-on, concrete experiences as emphasized by Adapting Science Materials for the Blind (ASMB) is encouraged. (EB)

Describes how a Physical Science Study Committee(PSSC) course was adapted to the individualized format known as the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) and introduced to universities and secondary schools. (LS)

Discusses the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) teacher's role. Sources and dimensions of ISCS teachers' role conflict and some of the ways that this conflict has been, or might be, resolved are also presented. (HM)

Presents the results of a survey of science teaching conducted in the public high schools of New Jersey in 1977-78 school year. These results are divided into three main areas: teacher assignment and conditions, statistics on subject matter organization, and statistics on supervisory personnel. (HM)

Examines how the performance of eight first-grade deaf students was modified by Science- A Process Approach. Applying Chi square analysis to individual performances showed that seven of the eight children achieved significant achievement gain. It is concluded that student learning is not dependent on language ability. (HM)
