Goals and activities of the Elementary Science Study Branch of the Educational Services Incorporated are discussed in this paper by Eleanor Duckworth. As in other curriculum projects the influence of psychological approaches is seen to be minimal. However, procedures are judged to be sound. Additional comments by Ben Nichols on his work with electricity in the fourth grade provide a specific example of the work being done at ESI.
