Presents a series of behavioral objectives for a 60 hour science unit designed to train laboratory technicians in safety, basic laboratory skills, laboratory service and fittings, and first aid. (SL)

Reviews several schemes for organizing science laboratory objectives and activities and for analyzing several techniques designed to measure these laboratory outcomes. The need for further study and analysis of psychomotor behaviors in science education is emphasized. (HM)

Behavioral objectives with minimum performance levels and illustrations are presented. The objectives are suggested on the basis of two arguments: first, they provide a basis for selection of laboratory content; second, they are stated in currently acceptable form. (DF)

Describes a model for a college biology laboratory that is: (1) individualized, (2) self-instructional, and (3) investigative. (See also SE 515 093.) (LS)

This nuclear chemistry module includes topics on atomic structure, instability of the nucleus, detection strengths and the uses of radioactive particles. Laboratory work stresses proper use of equipment and safe handling of radioactive materials. Students with a strong mathematics background may consider this course as advanced work in chemistry.…

Describes rationale, need, and purpose of three lists of objectives (included in appendices) of objectives for skills and abilities related to experimental, practical work in biology, chemistry, and physics. (SK)

The purpose of the study was to establish a list of acceptable terminal behavioral objectives for the nonmajor general biology laboratory as perceived by each instructor in every institution for higher education in the state of Missouri who is responsible for planning, organizing, operating, and evaluating that course. It was further the purpose…

This manual provides learning activities for use in two vocational agriculture courses--ornamental horticulture I and agricultural technology I. These activities are intended as aids in the teaching of application of science principles. An introductory chart gives a summary of how vocational agriculture objectives match objectives of specific…

This brochure lists science objectives developed by the Texas Education Agency considered basic or essential for mid-point level (grade 5 or 6) and for high school exit level. Objectives are grouped under three major headings: (1) science processes; (2) laboratory manipulative skills; and (3) use of science and technology (content). Suggestions…

The formal education of laboratory personnel focuses primarily on the basic sciences and specific clinical laboratory practices. However, many of these personnel are called upon to teach students, new employees, and/or colleagues participating in continuing education/in-service activities. Often those called upon are totally unprepared for that…

This life science activity module was designed to facilitate student conceptualization of plant growth. It is intended for use primarily in elementary grades but may be useful at higher grades. It provides students with hands-on experience and observational skill development. The package provides: (1) a teacher background sheet; (2) an activity…

This physical science activity module was designed to facilitate developing concepts related to sound. It is intended for use primarily in elementary grades but may be useful at higher grades. It provides students with hands-on experience and observational skill development. The package provides: (1) a teacher background sheet; (2) an activity…

A curriculum guide, in outline form, for oceanography field laboratories is presented. Designed to complement and expand upon an oceanography lecture course, it provides a list of objectives related to student experiences in three areas: (1) operating oceanographic equipment; (2) gathering, manipulating, and evaluating data; and (3) writing formal…
