Cosmology education has become an integral part of modern physics courses. Directed by National Curricula, major UK examination boards have developed syllabi that contain explicit statements about the model of the Big Bang and the strong observational evidence that supports it. This work examines the similarities and differences in these…

Describes a course that includes a basic core section comprised of a lecture series integrated with programmed practicals and a project section comprised of activities designed to give the students practice in electronic problem solving. (GS)

Describes the new physics courses, and course combinations with physics, that were introduced after 1973, and are being offered in addition to the existing four-year sandwich course in applied physics. (GA)

Describes degree structure, subjects involved, and physics courses offered to students of single honors, as well as double honors, degree programs. (GA)

Describes a physics laboratory course designed to give the true flavor of science in the laboratory by emphasizing measurement. Presents the goals of the course and describes the three main blocks of study that comprise a year's work. (GS)

Presents the syllabus for a nine week, college level unit on energy topics. (CP)

Describes an introductory course that does not presuppose newtonian mechanics. Presents a course outline and discusses the treatment of five major topics including relativistic kinematics and the derivation of the Lorentz transformation. (GS)

Describes some of the difficulties that arise when a course is transferred from one teacher to another and relates some experiences in the transfer of a self paced physics course. (GS)

Examines various issues related to the establishment of a core of physics studies at 16+ and 18+. Indicates that a core physics syllabus should be concerned with phenomena, theory, models, and applications and not with such topics as the use of a U tube manometer. (JN)

Presents a core syllabus for A-level physics. Includes the rationale and nature of the core as well as brief comments on major sections of the syllabus. (SK)

Describes and outlines medical-physics courses that are taken in parallel with physics courses and designed for the medical physicist. (GA)

Describes a course in applied physics with solid state electronics, aimed at providing a continuing broad background in general physics while allowing for the gradual development of an emphasis on applications, engineering expertise, and relevant industrial experience. (Author/GA)
