Presented are analytical abstracts, prepared by science educators, of research reports in the areas of instruction, mainstreaming, curriculum, classroom learning environment, and the educational use of planetaria. Each abstract includes bibliographical data, research design and procedure, purpose, research rationale, and an abstractor's analysis…

Examines views, attitudes and feelings of high school pupils about their school science practicals (labs) via letter-writing and picture-drawing. Concludes that while students generally like practicals, they view them more as a means of confirming theory rather than an open investigation or true experiment. (JDH)

This annotated bibliography consists of 25 items on wide variety of topics related to the instructional uses of computers in secondary and college level science. Several research studies are also included. (JN)

An annotated bibliography of books about non-Newtonian physics written by physicists for the lay reader. Organized into three sections: (1) a listing by titles; (2) classification of the books by subject heading; and (3) an annotated bibliography arranged by author. (LZ)

This annotated bibliography contains 20 references on using computers in physics instruction. (MNS)

Presented is a review of the professional literature concerning the value of science education for mildly retarded students. (CS)

Contains a reading list of articles published in 1985 covering 14 biological topics. Includes descriptions, procedures, and references for 26 experiments. These investigations deal with selected concepts in biology, ecology, chemistry, and physics and include computer-based instruction. (ML)

The joint winter meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the American Physical Society (APS) was held in Atlanta, Georgia, January 27-30, 1986. Abstracts of papers presented at the meeting and the complete program are provided. An author index is appended. (JN)

The council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at its Cincinnati, Ohio meeting in December, 1923, authorized a special committee to make a study of the role played and to be played by science in education. That committee was organized in 1924, and the presentation of this bibliography is a product of its work. An adequate…

This annotated bibliography is intended to provide a list of references on using computers with aspects of biology instruction in elementary, secondary, and higher education. The material is intended to provide specific topics for teachers and aid researchers gathering background material in preparing articles, grant proposals, and presentations.…

This is a 53-page cumulative index to the Journal of Geological Education. Ninety-three categories are included and the contents are intended to be more accessible to readers with the establishment of the standard subject matter indexing categories. (Author/SA)

The teaching materials listed in this annotated bibliography emphasize an observational and hands-on approach to awakening student interest in the world of biology. The sources that are for teachers and students, can be used to create lessons, prepare units, or develop concepts to stimulate learning. Books on science fairs and projects are…

Presents information on the teaching of nutrition (including new information relating to many current O-level syllabi) and part 16 of a reading list for A- and S-level biology. Also includes a note on using earthworms as a source of material for teaching meiosis. (JN)

To assist teachers and others in dealing with the teaching of creationism versus evolution, this fact sheet provides a list of references found in the ERIC database. (MNS)

This study assessed the theoretical, empirical, and normative evidence addressing the issue of individualized science instruction. The literature on the subject was reviewed and an annotated bibliography prepared with entries grouped into categories asking: (1) Is there a need for individualization in science education? (2) Can individualized…
