In this study, we report the results of a randomized controlled trial of Tools for Getting Along (TFGA), a social problem-solving universally delivered curriculum designed to reduce the developmental risk for serious emotional or behavioral problems among upper elementary grade students.
In this project, university faculty, science center educators, and elementary school teachers collaborated to create, instruct, and research developmentally appropriate, inquiry-based, high interest, standards-focused science curriculum designed to teach organism similarity and differences precursor concepts of speciation and adaptation to early elementary grade students.
The curriculum should also include accident prevention and "shall integrate firearm safety education into appropriate subject areas, if feasible, to ensure that every elementary grade student completes the course of study in firearm safety education".
The product is aimed at upper-elementary-grade students and above, depending upon the subject matter.
Most of the sexual abuse took place, apparently, at a boarding school for elementary-grade students connected to the choir.
The books are aimed at all age groups — from "Bully," a picture book for elementary-grade students, to the "The Bully Book," for middle school children, about an average kid who suddenly becomes everyone's favorite victim, to "Sticks and Stones" by Emily Bazelon, a recent release for adults that includes both stories and analysis.

This lack of exposure to evolution in the elementary grades impacts students' educational success when they are introduced, in middle school and high school, to the complex interactions of organisms and environments since biological evolution is an indivisible component of these interactions.
Catley et al.'s (2005) primary focus was on how elementary and middle grade students could develop the skills needed to deal with evolution and its use as an overarching theme in the biological sciences.
In our school-based research work in introducing mobilized curricula to a class, we observe one compelling mobilized lesson that exploits the affordances of mobile learning to provide multiple learning pathways for elementary grade (primary) 2 students.
For example, some elementary and middle grade students do not understand how variability might be controlled by reducing effects of unrelated variables (difficulty IVE; Chen and Klahr, 1999; Kuhn and Dean, 2005), while middle school students have trouble interpreting findings when faced with natural variation (difficulty IVA; Kanari and Millar, 2004).
