This article describes how a university and a museum have worked together to create a "How science works" workshop entitled "What's in our water?" The workshop teaches students about the continuing pollution from a disused coal mine, how the pollution is cleaned up using a state-of-the-art treatment works and how scientists…

As Drew University in New Jersey illustrates, such old standbys as chemistry and physics are making a comeback in the small colleges. (Editor)

This study guide is part of a program of studies entitled the Science and Engineering Technician (SET) Curriculum developed to provide a framework for training technicians in the use of electronic instruments and their applications. This interdisciplinary course of study integrates elements from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, mathematics,…

This study guide is part of an interdisciplinary program of studies entitled the Science and Engineering Technician (SET) Curriculum. This curriculum integrates elements from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, mathematics, mechanical technology, and electronic technology with the objective of training technicians in the use of electronic…

Suggests that universities modify chemistry programs to be more appropriate for students who have had Nuffield project oriented instruction at secondary school level. The conclusions of a survey support this notion. (PS)

Describes a functional management system which individualizes instruction in undergraduate chemistry courses. CHEM TIPS (Chemistry Teaching Information Processing System) is designed to monitor each student's progress, identify specific weaknesses and strengths in his understanding of the course material, prescribe individual study assignments,…

The influence of the Nuffield project should become widespread. Undergraduate courses have to be modified, science teacher training programs will be different and chemical industry will also be influenced by the Nuffield project. The individuals receiving Nuffield oriented instruction should be better prepared for independent thinking and working.…

Reported here are the responses of a group of chemical engineering educators to questions relating to the use of a series of undergraduate chemical engineering modules developed by the CHEMI Project. (BB)

Brief description of lectures presented in a conference on Nuffield project with emphasis on chemistry teaching. There is a need for the philosophy of the Nuffield project at the college level. Less emphasis should be placed on factual information in chemistry at college level. (PS)

Presented are the author's impressions of the status of chemical education during the period from the mid-fifties to late sixties. (HM)

This volume is one of the series for the Chemical Technician Curriculum Project (ChemTeC) of the American Chemical Society funded by the National Science Foundation. It consists of discussions, exercises, and experiments on the following topics: the nature of reversible processes, equilibrium constants, variable reaction tendencies, practical…

This volume is one of a series for the Chemical Technician Curriculum Project (ChemTeC) of the American Chemical Society funded by the National Science Foundation. It consists of discussions, exercises, and experiments on the following topics: amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates, synthetic polymers, other natural products, chemical separations…

This volume is one of the series for the Chemical Technician Curriculum Project (ChemTeC) of the American Chemical Society funded by the National Science Foundation. It consists of discussions, exercises, and experiments on the following topics: ion exchange, electrphoresis, dialysis, electrochemistry, corrosion, electrolytic cells, coulometry,…

Individualized Learning System Chemistry (ILS Chem) is a multi-media approach to learning basic chemical principles and their application to man's daily existence in which the student proceeds at his own rate through a series of instructional loops. This is a computer-managed, competency-based instructional system in which the individual student…

Describes a collection of college chemistry demonstrations designed for self-paced classes. Some of these exercises stem from original ideas; others are adaptations of one or more published demonstrations. Two exercises, as examples, are also included. (HM)
