We present grism spectra of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from 0.6-1.6 microns made possible by the Early Release Science (ERS) observations with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope. These new infrared grism data augment existing optical Advanced Camera for Surveys G800L grism data in GOODS-South. The ERS grism field was observed at 2 orbits/grism, yielding spectra of hundreds of objects, a subset of which are shown here. Grism-spectroscopic redshifts and star-formation rates are calculated for the ELGs via H-alpha, [OIII], and [OII] emission lines detected in the redshift ranges 0.7This paper is based on Early Release Science observations made by the WFC3 Scientific Oversight Committee. We are grateful to the Director of the Space Telescope Science Institute for awarding Director's Discretionary time for this program. Support for program #11359 was provided by NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555.
