Describes three recommended physics programs (minor, basic, and advanced) for prospective high school physics teachers. Provides descriptions of the expected content of the courses in the programs. (AL)

Four contributors on curriculum development explain philosophic aspects of Nuffield Advanced Science Projects, a course in science and education, a conservation course, and an audiovisual method for self-teaching. (PS)

A five-year program in technical studies is described. Instructional projects emphasize the construction of science equipment relating a theoretical subject to its practical application through technology. (TS)

This paper, presented at the National Science Teachers Association conference in April, 1972, in New York City, describes a unique school (called a "magnet" school) designed for Dayton, Ohio. With open enrollment and adequate transportation, students will come from all parts of the city. The school will offer basic and required courses in all…

Describes the science program offered at Forest View High School, Arlington Heights, Illinois. A wide variety of science courses have been included in the program in response to a survey of student opinion regarding the science topics that they wished to study. (JR)

An interdisciplinary course taught by a team of biology and social studies teachers in high school motivated students to work on various scientific and social problems. The course and the student's projects attracted considerable public attention and support. (PS)

A continuing education program was developed to broaden the background of high school chemistry teachers. The program consisted of minicourses (focusing on a single topic) and short courses. (SK)

Described is a school-focused pattern of initial and inservice training of teachers which emphasizes self evaluation and development through team membership. Details the workshop schedule and discusses activities used. (CW)

The booklet contains information about an experimental space science survey course which explores the tools and methods used to study space. Included are a list of 22 performance objectives, an outline of the content in the course, lists of experiments, demonstrations, and projects for the course and the books in which these are to be found, a…

Describes various physics courses offered at Moline, particularly the conduct of self-pacing programs for grade 10-12 students who are either interested in the topic or planning further study in science. Indicates tremendously increasing enrollments with the adoption of the new instruction method. (CC)

Describes a pilot program that tested the feasibility of using a computer-based communication system for offering an interdisciplinary, inservice biology and chemistry course to regional high school teachers. Course structure (including computer management and electronic mail system), on-line examinations, and unanticipated problems are among the…

Objectives, a brief course outline and implementation procedures of a course designed to provide the student with an understanding of his physical, social, and mental wellbeing are described. (GS)

Encouraging scientific thinking through open-ended experiments, allowing students access to common chemical instrumentation, and introduction to laboratory techniques are goals of a high school science laboratory program. Course content (general, inorganic, and organic chemistry), limitations, and course evaluation are discussed. (Author/JN)
