It is often stated that science does not have a central place in the elementary school curriculum, unlike other subjects such as reading, writing, and arithmetic. In response to this concern, a project in Indiana is underway to develop a variety of approaches which integrate new materials, methods, and modes of teaching into the elementary school curriculum of a consortium of school districts. This document is one result of the project. It contains a compendium of teaching strategies and special activities which elementary teachers may include in their elementary school curriculum. The document contains separate sections which deal with: (1) a language arts approach to science; (2) using reading books to teach science; (3) science basics for elementary teachers; (4) using the zoo as a classroom; (5) after school science enrichment; (6) Halley's comet; (7) a teacher science fair; and (8) audio science. Also included is an annotated bibliography of science books for children and a list of other references for the teacher. (TW)
