Describes in detail the laboratory procedure for studying the process of amitosis in the vegetative cells of Nitella axillaris. (BR)

Describes an experiment for second year students designed to illustrate lectures devoted to electrochemistry and thermodynamics. (SL)

Using the hydrolysis of crystal violet dye by sodium hydroxide as an example, the theory, apparatus, and procedure for a laboratory demonstration of tubular reactor behavior are described. The reaction presented can occur at room temperature and features a color change to reinforce measured results. (WB)

Explains the techniques of experimenting with the protozoan Colpoda cucullus to learn about its habitats, dispersal and adaptations. (LS)

Describes the use of laboratory experiments termed hands-on demonstrations that are designed to reinforce the concepts covered in lecture with emphasis on maximizing the sense content (sight, smell, hearing) to improve retention by the student. (GS)

Describes a demonstration concerning the air pollution aspects of gasoline vapor which provides an estimation of the vapor pressure of test fuel, the molecular weight of the vapor, and illustrates a method of controlling the pollution. (SL)

Describes a simple experiment to verify the reflectivity equations of Fresnel and for measurement of optical constants. (SL)

Describes an experimental verification of Stefan's law using commercial electric lamps. (SL)

Describes a magnetic resonance laboratory experiment for a biochemistry course. (SL)

Describes several plasma physics experiments suitable for undergraduate physics laboratories. (SL)

Describes experiments for preparing compounds containing cooper and nickel in the +3 oxidation state. (SL)

Describes experiments with and preparation of Manganese (III) for demonstrating the reactions of ions from the first transition metal series. (SL)

Describes an introductory course in geology for nonscience majors that involves students in laboratory exercises related to rock classification. (GS)
