The relationship between tadpoles, algae and drinking water for wildlife is discussed. Six projects that students can do to learn more about the ecological benefits of tadpoles and frogs are described. A bibliography is included. (AJ)

Describes how to construct a simple pendulum seismometer. Includes schematic drawing of the electronic circuitry, a working drawing of the apparatus, and typical seismometer outputs caused by nearby trains and various earthquake-generated waves. (JJK)

High school students discuss the process of conducting original scientific research in a high school biology course, including developing an idea, obtaining financial support, collecting data, and presenting findings. (MKR)

Included are abstracts of 40 science projects for secondary level courses of biology, physical science, and chemistry. (SL)

Presents information for teachers on science fairs including international competitions, finding research students, and starting research classes and science clubs. Provides advice for helping students with research. (PR)

Describes a secondary project in which students must organize an expedition to settle the people of the Earth on a new planet. (MLH)

Methods of investigating plant root growth developed for research purposes can be adopted for student use. Investigations of the effect of water table level and of ethylene concentration are described, and techniques of measuring root growth are explained. (Author/ML)

Stereoscopic photo activities for students are described for the purpose of motivating students in earth science. Included also is the necessary equipment for obtaining the three-dimensional effect. (SA)

Described is a science fair project in which M- and X-class x-ray flares on the surface of the earth were detected using a Geiger counter. Background information, the problem, hypothesis, a list of needed materials, the procedure, observations, conclusions, and a critique are included. (KR)

Gives guidelines for initiating science projects and encourages students to enter them in science fairs to instill confidence in their accomplishments. (LS)

This bibliography assists junior and senior high school students and teachers in planning, preparing, executing, and evaluating science fair projects. A few books with experiments suitable for elementary grade students are listed. This publication is not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography but is designed to put the reader "on target."…

Reviews the Science Talent Search scholarship program which rewards scientific research efforts of secondary students. Also includes a description of this year's ten top winners and their projects. (SL)

Discusses projects entered in the 46th Annual Science Talent Search and identifies the 40 successful competitors. Includes a listing of the winners by state and also names the student's school and city. (ML)

Described are 15 events that take place during a physics olympics at a Michigan high school. These events are planned with the idea of involving the older students in designing and presenting projects to ninth graders, and involving the latter in a day of outdoor participation. (SA)
