The textbook series published by the Silver Burdette Co. of Morris town, N.J., was the nearly unanimous choice. Mrs. Kostem said teachers are particularly pleased that the package Bethlehem bought includes kits with materials that can be used for the "hands-on" activities associated with science instruction. No more should the teachers have to depend on youngsters remembering to bring items from home to participate in demonstrations or learning activities, she said.

The textbook series covers four sciences life, physical, Earth, and the human body in each grade leveL John F. Spirk one of the nine school board members, said it "bothers" him that some schools were still using textbooks or materials from the 1960s, especially in light of the district's guidelines calling for an update at least every five years. District Supt Robert L. LaFrankie said the old science program was developed in Bethlehem by district staff and was in place for about 10 years. He said the program was still relevant and individual principals were buying materials to update it Mrs.

Kostem indicated that some principals may have been caught in a bind of priorities, with the bulk of their money being spent on ma terials for reading-language arts or mathematics. She said the process of installing the new science program is not complete. The district staff will go through further evaluation with an eye toward adding, deleting, or substituting chapters within the program outlined in the Silver Burdette series. On another matter, Asst Supt Linda R. Shea and Director of Instruction James D.

Fultineer reported on what they perceived to be a successful day of staff training last week when students had a holiday for Election Day. Bethlehem has had a history of unhappiness on the teaching staff with the quality of these professional improvement programs. But officials last night indicated that they have made an effort to meet the needs of teachers by arranging sessions with topics the staff has suggested. Spirk said he was happy to see that the local staff was depended upon to lead the sessions rather than bringing in paid "experts" from outside. Director Robert J.

Thompson said he hoped a future session could deal with increasing awareness and recognition of learning disabilities. He said the topic might not be one that would be suggested from the teaching ranks. A new science program is being employed in the 16 elementary schools of the Bethlehem Area School District this year, and officials seem pleased with the debut Michele Kostem, curriculum specialist in charge of science and mathematics, said $60,000 was spent, essentially to buy textbooks, teaching guides, and "hands-on" kits. She headed a committee which had planned for the changes since the fall of 1983. She described the process this week at a school board workshop.

The committee's work focused on what was to become probably the biggest revamping of the elementary science curriculum since the 1960s. After hearing input from high-level administrators, principals and teachers, the panel eventually agreed on the selection of one textbook for the program and sought ways of increasing "hands-on" experience in the classroom. Serving on the committee were Gilbert Lopez, Dr. William Nelson, George Neupauer and Richard Pappas, all elementary principals. Mrs.

Kostem said the choice of a textbook series was narrowed to three from a possible field of seven. Those three were then sent out to teachers in 60 classrooms throughout the school REQ. $1400 PLUS FREE BONUS CALL STORE FOR NOW 2 LOCATIONS IN ALLENTOWN TO SERVE YOU BETTER DETAILS ninjc FEEE LSSfil BOWEIT I Eessval elCId Sst i grgawBajtaaaataaecucf .1 i iiiiiwn ez, both of 25 S. 8th Allentown.
