Physical science course of study for the ninth grade

Nature of Study: The study started from a proposal of the Oklahoma Curriculum Committee for Science. This proposal is for a physical science course to replace the general science which is now being offered in the ninth grade. The situation confronting the study is to find what should be included, and to develop a course of study from the available textbooks.Finding and Conclusions: There is not a suitable text on the Oklahoma adopted text list. The course should consist of two-thirds Physics, one-fourth Chemistry and one-tenth Geology. This course of study is developed from a state adopted text and by using several other books as references. The course of study is developed into units. Each unit gives an introduction, points to consider and a list of references with the particular page reference for that unit.Use of Study: As a guided outline for teaching a physical science class on the ninth grade level
