Abstract	This document includes a final report and curriculum guide from a project to develop a Science and Math Applications curriculum that related science and math to everyday life and promoted confidence in adult basic education students in their science and math skills. The report describes how the curriculum used traditional teaching methods to teach basic science and math concepts with reinforcement through hands-on activities. The targeted audience was 20 adult basic education students who expressed a desire to increase their math and science abilities and an initial fear of science and math. Pre- and postassessment data showed that, on the average, student grade levels rose two levels during their time in the program. Students often left the program with a new attitude toward these subject areas. The math component of the curriculum is broken down into nine subject areas: problem solving; decimal skills; fraction skills; percent skills; probability, ratio, and proportion skills; measurement; data analysis; algebra; and geometry. The science component includes nine subject areas: building reading skills; applying science concepts; analyzing science materials; evaluating science materials; plant and animal biology; human biology; earth science; chemistry; and physics. An outline for each subject area correlates skills with assessment, materials, and teaching strategy and techniques. Handouts and an 18-item bibliography are provided. (YLB)
