Describes the Nebraska Physical Science Project, an experimental program designed to provide individualized instruction in chemistry-physics to high school students. The course objectives, topics, instructional approach, evluation instruments, and project personnel are described. (LC)

This pair of brochures describes the elementary curriculum of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP). Many of the topics and exercises unique to this program are illustrated. The educational philosophy underlying the program is briefly described. (SD)

This volume is designed for teachers preparing to teach upper elementary students using the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) curriculum. It begins with a discussion of the importance of graph theory in mathematics and science. A mathematical development of graph-theoretic concepts and theorems is presented, followed by a set of…

The study concluded that ninth-grade Fundamentals of Mathematics students can achieve at a higher level when using hand-held calculators and a specially designed curriculum. (MK)

The objectives of this project were to develop and evaluate special instructional materials covering abstract reasoning, mechanical comprehension, and spatial visualization as related to basic vocational talents for eighth and ninth grade students who had a high probability of entering vocational education. The materials: paper and pencil aptitude…

These are the student materials for the experimental 12th grade economics course outlined and described in ECON 12: Teacher's Materials (see SO 000 029). The materials for the seven lessons of Unit I, "What is Economics," and the eight lessons of Unit II, "U. S. Price System," include content outlines, worksheets, graphs, some…

Deals with an experimental approach to reading in which the assigned text is supplemented by tapes and mimeographed sheets to provide a multi-skill format. (Author)

Significant characteristics of the guidance program are reviewed and materials developed, staff preparation, tryout procedures, and implementation and evaluation plans are described. To try out evaluation procedures, a random sample of 505 students in grades 7, 8, and 9 in six schools provided data for (1) measuring student choices relative to…

Contained in this experimental test are instructional materials for a one-semester course designed to give liberal arts students an appreciation of (1) the nature of science, (2) the development of science, (3) the contributions of scientists, (4) the impact of scientific discoveries on mankind, and (5) the possible future effects of science. The…

A research project in Alberta, Canada, explored the ability of elementary school students to understand and interpret infrared false color Landsat maps. Landsat maps are representations of the earth's land surface produced by orbiting satellites. Infrared is used to delineate vegetation. Accuracy and timeliness of Landsat maps make them useful for…

Technical activity from April 1 through June 30, 1968 involving the problem of developing the mathematics curriculum learning units are covered. The principal goal of the entire Project is to demonstrate increased effectiveness of vocational instruction whose content is derived from an analysis of desired behavior following graduation. During…

NOVA IS AN EXPERIMENTAL, 6-YEAR JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM INCLUDE THE TRIMESTER SYSTEM, THE CONTINUOUS PROGRESS CURRICULUM, TEAM TEACHING, A CLASS SCHEDULE OF FOUR 70-MINUTE PERIODS PER WEEK, THE USE OF DATA-PROCESSING EQUIPMENT, AND MODERN INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS. NOVA IS ORGANIZED CAMPUS-STYLE WITH INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS DEVOTED…

This report brings together in a single source observations and materials of instructional importance in calculator explorations with seventh-grade students from 1976 through 1978. Students used algebraic-logic calculators with no operational hierarchies. At the end of the school year, students were introduced to reverse Polish notation-based…
