Measure and find out :a quantitative approach to science

by Clifford E. Swartz ; edited by Roy A. Gallant.

 

Elementary school science by a quantitative approach

Clifford Swartz, JRST December 1964

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tea.3660020415/abstract

 

From ED076339

Content and organization of the subdivisions.

Since Measure and Find Out has no organizing scheme of concepts or processes, there is minimal sequencing of lessons. In Book One there are 46 lessons, standing independently without division into units. The lessons could be grouped into loose categories such as learning to measure, measuring by weighing, measuring time, measuring light, measuring temperature, measuring force, and measuring living things. But they are not. Neither are they sequenced in the above order. Lesson 40 deals with observation of color in leaves, Lesson 41 with graphing the pupil's own ear, Lesson 43 with weighing objects made of different metals, and Lesson 44 with graphing the changing shape of the moon.

In Books Two and Three, lessons are grouped under general topics. In Book Two, topics featuring between 8 and 14 lessons each include the metric system, measuring the body, measuring the weather, measuring light, and measuring plants. The 49 lessons in Book Three are more or less evenly divided among earth science, electricity, measuring heat, simple machines, and chemistry.

ESS, SAPA, and SCIS, "In three followup studies, student groups that had had activity-based programs in elementary school and had later experienced traditional science programs during middle school years could not be consistently distinguished from control groups."

Bredderman was at Stony Brook, then moved to SUNY Albany. Had been leading a 3-year study from NSF, "Cooperative College School Science Curriculum Study" jointly by SUNY and Suffolk County Schools (as per the ERIC review above), along with Lester Paldy. But can't find the report.
