| Sumario: | The article presents a study on the degree of implementation of the elementary science curriculum in New York City. In 1954, New York City adopted an elementary science curriculum which was specifically defined in terms of time allotment, content and method. The prescribed seven areas for elementary grades are: magnetism and electricity, the earth in space, living things, sound and light in communication, motion and force in transportation, earth and its resources and weather. Results of the study indicate that science is not being taught as the curriculum designers specified in respect to time, content and methods.
