The document discusses the history and current state of science curriculum in elementary schools. It notes that science instruction has decreased significantly since 2000 due to a focus on standardized testing in math and reading. Currently, most elementary schools spend less than an hour per week on science and many teachers feel unprepared to teach it. In order to improve science education, the document argues that reforms are needed in curriculum enhancement, resource development, and training for elementary school teachers in science.
