Stefan's law is demonstrated by measuring the temperature of the tungsten filament of an electric light bulb and plotting a log-log graph of temperature against power dissipation. (MLH)

Describes a geology laboratory exercise involving weathering and topographic maps which allows students to put knowledge to practical application. (SL)

Describes an undergraduate biochemical experiment involving the isolation and characterization of acid phosphatase from readily available materials. (Author/SL)

Describes a demonstration experiment illustrating rotation of grains process of metamorphic rock formation utilizing clear gelatin blocks. (SL)

Describes four science experiments relating to energy developed for interdisciplinary general science courses. (SL)

Describes two experiments for a sophomore level organic chemistry utilizing commercially available borane-methyl sulfide (BMS). (SL)

Described is a school project to investigate aggregations in flatworms which may be influenced by light intensity, temperature, and some form of chemical stimulus released by already aggregating flatworms. Such investigations could be adopted to suit many educational levels of science laboratory activities. (DS)

Describes an experiment for the determination of water/lipid distribution ratios of drugs. (SL)

Presents the results of an experiment designed to test two hypotheses: (1) a delay of two weeks at room temperature will have no effect on the viability of fertile chicken eggs and (2) refrigeration will have no effect on the viability of fertile chicken eggs. Experimenters were the author and two ninth-grade students. (PEB)

Details a laboratory experiment designed to extend the calcium PVC matrix membrane ion-selective electrode studies to complex formation equilibria. (Author/MA)

Presented is a laboratory exercise that utilizes the natural yeast carbonation method of making homemade root beer to study fermentation and the effect of variables upon the fermentation process. There are photographs, a sample data sheet, and procedural hints included. (Author/MA)

Reviews various science activities investigating polarized light. (SL)

Describes an apparatus for an experiment on winding motion in three dimensions. Discusses theory and provides a calculation example. (JM)

Describes an experiment that provides a study of the different colors and shapes of crystals of transition metal dimethylglyoxime complexes with the use of a low power microscope. Discusses the preparation and examination of the crystals. (CW)
