Jackson, Jane; Dukerich, Larry; Hestenes, David – Science Educator, 2008
The authors describe a Modeling Instruction program that places an emphasis on the construction and application of conceptual models of physical phenomena as a central aspect of learning and doing science. (Contains 1 table.)
Descriptors: Models, Visual Aids, Problem Solving, Teamwork

Dowling, John, Jr. – American Journal of Physics, 1976
Argues for increased use of films in physics education and lists some of the most outstanding physics films. (CP)
Descriptors: Films, Instruction, Instructional Materials, Physics

Karioris, Frank G. – Physics Teacher, 1975
Reviews the equations of motion and the use of a sine-sine coordinate grid for convenient plotting or analyzing of Lissajous figures. (Author/GS)
Descriptors: College Science, Graphs, Higher Education, Instruction

Neie, Van E. – Physics Teacher, 1975
Presents one approach to solving problems concerned with minimum stopping distances. In this approach differing negative accelerations are considered in addition to the speed and reaction time. (GS)
Descriptors: Driver Education, Instruction, Motion, Physics

Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 1974
Describes the use of 35 mm slides consisting of a diagram of photograph and 15 to 60 words of text to augment laboratory instruction. (GS)
Descriptors: Audiovisual Instruction, College Science, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures

Baierlein, Ralph – American Journal of Physics, 1978
Introduces a pictorial, intuitive approach that allows the teaching of thermodynamics equilibrium in an introductory college physics course. (GA)
Descriptors: College Science, Heat, Higher Education, Instruction

Woodman, Charles A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1972
Students whose Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) physics course was supplemented with the PSSC films did not achieve significantly higher scores on the PSSC Achievement Test or the Test on Understanding Science than students who did not see the films, when intelligence and science background were used as covariates. (AL)
Descriptors: Achievement, Instruction, Instructional Films, Physics

Appleton, A. – Physics Education, 1977
Describes how to construct a device that will show interference fringes formed by multiple reflections in an air gap between two partially silvered glass surfaces. (MLH)
Descriptors: College Science, Demonstrations (Educational), Equipment, Higher Education

Hands, R. A. – School Science Review, 1975
Describes the use of disc or ring magnets magetized axially and iron discs, in conjunction with an overhead projector, as a model of nuclear structure and of complete molecules. (GS)
