This curricular guide, designed for grades one through six, was prepared by a writing committee from the Rock Hill, South Carolina, public schools. Five major themes (living things, the earth, matter and energy, the universe, the human body) provide continuity and direction for the elementary school science program. The guide contains a list of objectives for teaching elementary school science; a statement of the philosophy underlying the program; as well as lists of major concepts, filmstrips, and activities for each one of the five themes as it is developed at each of the six grade levels. The guide also includes a brief section on methods of evaluation, a discussion of safety in the science program, and a list of resources categorized as books and as community resources. (PEB)
