STEM has been integrated into science curriculum with recent changes. However, teachers are in need of resources to effectively apply STEM in their classrooms. This study aimed to prepare STEM activities and to find out the students' opinions about these activities. Case methodology was used. First, 5 activities were developed by the researchers…

The question "how to improve the interest of students to study physics" has been discussed in the author's previous papers too. Within the framework of the project, the author prepared various new interdisciplinary projects to demonstrate how inventions in physics are used in everyday life. Now, about one year later, the author found out…

Reports on the international conference on physics education held in Edinburgh, Scotland, July 29 - August 6, 1975. Provides the list of topics discussed by the working groups and notes other activities of the conference. (CP)

This document describes methods for designing and building two types of rockets--rockets from paper and rockets from bottles. Devices used for measuring the heights that the rockets obtain are also discussed. (KHR)

Describes teaching schemes and apparatus designed to give the teacher and the student a range of reliable, workable experiments to explore the world of small static charges. (GS)

Presents the advantages and disadvantages associated with the canned computer lab from the educational and software aspects. Summarizes two years of experience with canned labs and gives an example of a program and a typical student output. (GS)

This article provides information to aid in starting a course in musical acoustics. The selection of topics for lecture, a project-mode laboratory, texts, references, equipment, and lecture demonstrations are covered. (Author/CP)

The evolution of a laboratory oriented undergraduate plasma physics course is described. Brief accounts of the 14 experiments utilized in the course are provided. (CP)

Describes a program aimed at assisting high school physics teachers with incorporating modern physics concepts into the curriculum. Summer and academic year activities are described. Project evaluation indicates the project promoted modern physics instruction and an increase in teacher self-esteem. (DDR)

Describes a one-quarter introductory electronics course in which the students use a variety of inexpensive integrated circuits to design and construct a large number of useful circuits. Presents the subject matter of the course in three parts: linear circuits, digital circuits, and more complex circuits. (GS)

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW AND MORE ACCEPTABLE SCHEME OF TEACHING ELECTRICITY IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHYSICS PANEL OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION. IN CONTRAST TO THE "PARALLEL FIELD" APPROACH OF AN EARLIER PUBLICATION IN 1954, THE APPROACH IN THIS BOOK IS BASED ON RADIAL FIELDS, POINT CHARGES IN…

Describes (in separate articles): computer simulations in science education; how junior high school students revised an experiment; a framework for assessment in science; physics, relevance, and understanding; a science module for a sixth form general studies course; and assessment of providing science education for the 16-19 age group. (JN)

THIS BOOK CONTAINS A SURVEY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS IN GENERAL EDUCATION, HELD IN RIO DE JANEIRO IN JULY 1963. THIS WAS THE SECOND CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PURE AND APPLIED PHYSICS. CONFERENCE ADDRESSES, CONSTITUTING THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE TEXT, CONSIDER THE TEACHING OF SECONDARY SCHOOL GENERAL EDUCATION…
