Implementing an Elementary Science Program Through Community Resources.
Melody, E. Joanne
This practicum addressed the problem of the lack of science instruction in a school consisting of kindergarten through grade 5. The options of teaching science through hands-on activities, use of process skills, adding field experiences and selecting resource persons from the community were presented to the teachers. Appropriate science materials were evaluated by the faculty members. Workshops offering free materials were researched for summer in-service programs. The results of the program indicate that the amount of time for science instruction, number of field experiences, availability of parent resource personnel, and use of varied instructional techniques increased. Teachers, students, and school parents became more aware of the need for science instruction, particularly experiences including ecological concerns. Appended are a curriculum guide, several surveys, evaluation forms, and resource and literature lists. (Author/KR)
