In recent years, numerous questions have been raised in correspondence and in conferences about the education of children in grades seven and eight. In response to the interest expressed, the Elementary Schools Section of the Office of Education invited a group of educators representing administrators, supervisors, teachers, and teacher-educators to a conference to discuss the need for a study of educational programs in these grades and the methods by which a study might be carried out and reported. It was decided in this conference that such a study would be useful to school administrators, supervisors, and teachers and that it should be undertaken by the Office of Education. Schools were selected in several ways. Letters were sent by the Elementary Schools Section of the Office of Education to the director of instruction in each State Department of Education explaining the study and inviting him to name several schools in the State which might be visited in search of good practices in the education of 7th and 8th grade children. In carrying out the observations, an effort was made to visit schools in every State and to include a wide variety of schools. The present bulletin, then, is the result of research, observation, and interviews. "Part One" reports the results of research into characteristics and needs of children commonly found in grades seven and eight and projects some characteristics of desirable educational programs for them. "Part Two" reports some of the things schools included in this study are doing for children and some of the ways in which these schools work with parents and the community. Little attempt is made to evaluate the practices reported here; rather it is left to the reader to make his own evaluation of the immediate or long-range value of any practice in meeting the needs of children of these ages in the United States in their steady growth toward maturity. Appended are: (1) Concerns expressed by administrators; (2) Concerns expressed by teachers; and (3) Concerns expressed by parents. A bibliography is included.

What is science for a child? How do children learn about science and how to do science? Drawing on a vast array of work from neuroscience to classroom observation, Taking Science to School provides a comprehensive picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a broad range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. Taking Science to School answers such questions as: When do children begin to learn about science? Are there critical stages in a child's development of such scientific concepts as mass or animate objects? What role does nonschool learning play in children's knowledge of science? How can science education capitalize on children's natural curiosity? What are the best tasks for books, lectures, and hands-on learning? How can teachers be taught to teach science? The book also provides a detailed examination of how we know what we know about children's learning of scienceâ€"about the role of research and evidence. This book will be an essential resource for everyone involved in K-8 science educationâ€"teachers, principals, boards of education, teacher education providers and accreditors, education researchers, federal education agencies, and state and federal policy makers. It will also be a useful guide for parents and others interested in how children learn.
