"It is the purpose of this paper, therefore, to show how in Florida's Program of Studies in the Elementary School science and social studies are related to each other. It will be urged that these subjects should be so related as to assist in developing those characteristics in boys and girls which will enable them to adjust creatively, within a democratic framework, to the problems and situations created through the interaction of technology and social change. In doing this it will be necessary: (1) to establish the social and psychological needs that underlie such a program; (2) to examine the Program of Studies as found in the Florida Curriculum Bulletin Series, published by the State Department of Education, relating to these two areas; (3) to work out a series of charts correlating work described in certain Florida Curriculum Bulletins; and (4) to develop one of these problem areas as a Resource Unit"--Introduction. === Typescript. === "June, 1952." === "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." === Advisor: W.
