This document presents a course in the science of nuclear energy, units of which may be included in high school physics, chemistry, and biology classes. It is intended for the use of teachers whose students have already completed algebra and chemistry or physics. Included in this paper are the objectives of this course, a course outline, a…

Reports some reactions and opinions of the students to a course in nuclear and radiation chemistry using programmed instructional aids. Concludes that the findings were very favorable to the course. (GA)

Describes a course for which laboratory manual/text was written utilizing discovery-type experiments. Students investigate personal protection monitors, radioactive emissions, and the nature of radioactivity. (GS)

This is the final report to the National Science Foundation (NSF) from a grant to develop a course in biometeorological field techniques. Objectives of the course were to give students experiences in making field measurements of parameters of the physical environment and their impact on plants and animals; and to develop an understanding of the…

A description is given of a three credit-hour course entitled Radiation and the Environment. The course syllabus along with descriptions and criticisms of the course texts, are included. Also, some quotes from student's papers are presented indicating attitudes toward nuclear energy at the end of the course. (MR)

Describes a nuclear and radiation chemistry course offered to second and third year students at the University of New South Wales, England. (SL)

Describes the conduct of a self-contained course designed for biology, chemistry, and physics majors, particularly liberal arts seniors, with introductory physics and biology or chemistry as its prerequisites. (CC)

Discusses who takes college-level courses on solar energy; what material should be covered; sources of texts, outlines, curricula, and teaching aids; kinds of equipment needed; and science-, business-, and vocationally-oriented programs to prepare for such solar energy careers as design, research, education, and construction. (Author/JN)

Follows the development of a course in nuclear and radiochemistry at Penn State. Lists specific nuclear science topics covered in the undergraduate level course. Describes audio-visual materials that have been developed for the course and includes a survey of students taking the course. (ML)
