- Title
PHYSICAL SCIENCE AND THE ELEMENTARY TEACHER.
- Authors
Adams, Sam; Harrison, L. M.
- Abstract
The article reports on the confusion among elementary teachers concerning the study and teaching of science elementary schools in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Experts agree that most children enter school with a great deal of scientific curiosity. But some authorities are presenting the question: What happens to this interest? Others take the position that shifts in interest are merely part of the growth process, while still others insist that scientific interest is lost as a result of something that happens, or fails to happen, as student advances through the elementary school.
