Peer reviewedD'Amboise, Angela; Searles, William E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1974
The study investigates the usefulness of teaching science courses that have a commonality of subject matter and a sequential patterning of operations. Introductory Physical Science (IPS) and CHEM Study courses were compared. The results indicated IPS is a useful background for CHEM Study. (BR)

Peer reviewedButzow, John W.; Sewell, Leyton E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1972
Grade 8 students using the Introductory Physical Science course improved their scores on a test of science processes (observing, comparing, classifying, quantifying, etc.) after studying the first five chapters of the materials. Some evidence supporting a hierarchy of process skills is reported. (AL)
