Developed to complement existing elementary science programs, the materials in this first volume of New York's Elementary Science Supplement to the Syllabus emphasize a direct experience, hands-on approach for children of ages 4 through 7. Major sections include: (1) guidelines for program activities (explaining the organizational format of the guide); (2) correlating syllabus and program (including a chart which identifies areas in need of supplementary expansion); and (3) program activities (indicating in most cases the syllabus emphasis, problem, concepts, component connection, evaluation strategy, activities, and supplementary information for 4 units, 4 miniunits, and 16 unit starters). These sub-sections focus on topics such as measuring, properties, pets, the moon, rocks, and animal myths. Appendices consist of a policy statement dealing with handicapped students and a syllabus program correlation chart for Level I students (ages 4 through 7). (ML)
