The 15 essays in this collection describe programs developed by educators in prekindergarten through grade 4 which fulfill the More Emphasis guidelines of the National Science Education Stardards (NSES) released in 1996. Each essay begins with a description of the school, including its students and faculty, and then describes how the program was developed (including notes on its planning and assessment), how it fits in with the More Emphasis requirements, and the program itself, include its goals and implementation. Examples include the 4-H Wildlife Stewards Program in Portland, Oregon; several projects (including observation of mice and squirrel behavior) from Greene Community School in Butler County, Iowa; and the commitment to "leaving no child inside" at Homer Pittard Campus School in Rutherford County, Tennessee.
