- Abstract
The article attempts to determine whether the biology course in the ninth grade would be as effective, in terms of pupil learning, as the course taught in grades ten and above. General Biology was offered to selected ninth grade pupils in five junior high schools during the 1958-1959 school year. The ninth grade pupils' learning were compared with that of the older pupils in the five senior high schools also taking biology during the school year. The study indicates that a selected group of ninth grade pupils is capable of achieving as well as, or better than similar groups at the senior high school.
