[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is not very fond of academics in general but loves science, so I'm looking forward to her getting to spend more time on that so school feels a little less boring to her.  She's in 2nd grade this year and it looks like she'll only have 1.5 hours a week that'll be split between science, social studies, and health, so very little time on science again this year.  When might we expect this to increase, and by how much?  Are there countywide guidelines for this or is it up to the individual school?  How much time do your elementary school students spend on science?  [/quote]

Here is how much Science people outside USA is learning:
Geography starts at 5th grade and lasts until 8th grade. 
Biology starts at 5th grade and lasts until 11th grade. 
Physics starts at 6th grade and lasts until 12th grade. 
Chemistry starts at 7th grade and lasts until 12th grade.

In all of these science classes, kids learn applied math. The reason why Chinese kids' have advanced math, is partly due to their early exposure to Physics. 
Of course, physics is a required class even for social science and humanity majors.
