The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) will design, develop, and evaluate a K-6 science/health program that will incorporate proven implementation strategies. The areas of discipline concentration will be equally divided among the life, health, earth, and physical sciences. The program will complement goals of science knowledge and processes with emphases on personal/social goals, problem solving, decision making, and technology. Project staff will use the appropriate results of research in the cognitive sciences to revise and develop materials. The results of research on implementation strategies will be applied when developing materials for teachers and administrators, and in designing activities that promote use of the new program. Implementation efforts are central to this project. Project outcomes will include: 28 activity-based student modules for a complete K-6 science/health program; teachers' guides and computer software for program management; implementation guides; and supplementary activities integrating science with reading, language arts, and mathematics. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company is collaborating with BSCS in the development and implementation of this science/health program. The publishers will invest in excess of $2.9M during the 4-year development phase, and will continue teacher development activities in subsequent years. Private foundations as well as the Colorado Springs School District are also contributing to development and testing activities. This proposal is a solid and high quality response to the Solicitation, Programs for Elementary School Science Instruction, issued by the Instructional Materials Development Program. The project director and staff are well qualified by training and experience to conduct the activities. The track record of BSCS speaks well for the success of the project.

生物科学课程研究（BSCS）将设计、开发和评估K-6科学/健康计划，该计划将纳入经过验证的实施策略。学科集中的领域将在生命科学、健康科学、地球科学和物理科学之间平均分配。该计划将补充科学知识和过程的目标，强调个人/社会目标，解决问题，决策和技术。项目工作人员将使用认知科学的适当研究结果来修订和编写材料。关于实施策略的研究结果将应用于为教师和行政人员编写材料，以及设计促进使用新方案的活动。实施工作是这个项目的核心。项目成果将包括：28个基于活动的学生模块，用于完整的K-6科学/保健方案；教师指南和程序管理的计算机软件；实施指南;以及将科学与阅读、语言艺术和数学相结合的补充活动。肯德尔/亨特出版公司正在与BSCS合作开发和实施这一科学/健康计划。出版商将在4年的开发阶段投资超过290万美元，并将在随后的几年中继续开展教师发展活动。私人基金会以及科罗拉多斯普林斯学区也在为开发和测试活动做出贡献。本提案是对教材开发计划发布的《小学科学教学方案征集》的可靠且高质量的回应。通过培训和经验，项目主任和工作人员完全有资格开展活动。BSCS的业绩证明了项目的成功。
