Abstract
A prekindergarten to 12th grade curriculum for clay science is presented based on the Benchmarks for science literacy and the National science education standards. These clay concepts support learning in chemistry, physical science, and Earth science and are divided into concepts and activities for early childhood, elementary, middle school, and high school students. Two studies addressing facets of the curriculum show the utility of the proposed clay concepts and suggested lessons. More work is needed to define specific ideas students may have about clay in the rock cycle, clay's role in everyday products, what clay scientists do, and to test the efficacy of the entire curriculum.
