This article describes the findings of a review of existing K-8 science curriculum materials that was carried out under the National Science Curriculum Project for High-Ability Learners. Twenty-seven sets of materials were reviewed using criteria developed and refined by project staff. The purpose of the review was to ascertain whether currently available materials met the new standards in the teaching of science and the needs of gifted learners. The review findings suggest that existing basal textbooks fail to meet new science curriculum standards for all students, but particularly for high-ability learners. Modular programs and supplementary materials were found to be superior to basal textbooks on most dimensions.
