The Myth of Equality in Science Classrooms.
Kahle, Jane Butler; Lakes, Marsha K.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n2 p131-40 Feb 1983

This continues through ages 13 and 17, paralleled by increasing negative views of science and science classes/careers. Suggestions to eliminate inequalities found are offered. (JN)
