Increasing physics enrollment is attributed to student interest in the course that is conducted in an informal atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on laboratory experience with open-ended experiments and problem sessions conducted with small groups. Group instruction and optional research in selected scientific areas are also included. (DF)

Two objectives of the course are the removal of student-student competition replacing it with student-content involvement, and the improvement of the level of understanding of organic chemistry. These objectives are approached through a modified Keller plan with a series of study guides and quizzes as the core material. (GS)

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 the revamping of a high school physics course in which students are challenged by open-ended questions, assignments outside the classroom, guest speakers, a physics bowl and physics olympics. Reports on the increased enrollment in the course and the results of the students' test performance. (TW)
