Opportunities abound for acrossdiscipline activities that teach children Language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies in elementary school. In middle school or junior high school, where school subjects are departmentalized, the opportunities to give students experiences that integrate skills in the different disciplines are diminished. The Television Programming Challenge was designed for junior high school students to show applications of mathematics in the real world. It was piloted with sixty-four students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the Saturday Science Series at California State University, Fullerton. These presentations are made in mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and biology to selected students from local schools. Each presentation lasts three hours, from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon.
