Describes teaching schemes and apparatus designed to give the teacher and the student a range of reliable, workable experiments to explore the world of small static charges. (GS)

Describes the development and provides an example of the type of student investigation that is now considered sufficient for the practical part of the 'A' level physics examination. (GS)

Discusses teaching ecology in high schools in terms of kinds of problems suitable for study and management of field and laboratory activities. (EB)

Proposes that science teaching be based upon experimental work of the students, but most Italian schools are not equipped for this. This implies the development of inexpensive kits and syllabuses which can realistically be used in the schools. Provides one example of a suitable kit for individual experiments on electricity and magnetism. (GS)

Traces the inception of laboratory activities in the instruction of physics in American secondary and higher education institutions. In particular, the impact of Edwin Hall on secondary school physics instruction is described. (CP)

This book presents an experimental approach to the teaching of biology in secondary schools. Starting with a unit on microscopy, the study centers on animals. The two particular examples taken are those of the rat and the rabbit. A number of experiments have been suggested on nutrition, circulation, respiration, sweat, excretion, skin, regulation…

Describes some of the general principles involved in the planning of a teaching sequence. Discusses in more detail one example of a complete syllabus including major concepts and experiments. (Author/TS)

Describes the development and organization of a course begun in 1962 consisting of a sequence of manipulative learning operations. The laboratory operations of Quantitative Physical Science lead the student through the fundamentals of instrumentation and of measurement processes. Principles studied include physical, electrical, chemical, and wave…

Presents articles on: the measurement of flouride levels in natural waters; the effect of sunlight on the rate of chlorine decomposition in a swimming pool; and curriculum development in Australian agriculture science. (MLH)

Describes the apparatus of a chemistry kit that also contains a pupil's manual and a teacher's guide. (LS)

Feeling that projects in chemistry could be used effectively to enhance appreciation of chemistry, a project-based course for the first-year sixth formers was developed in 1973 and because of its success another was organized. Projects from both courses are described. (EB)

Described are the student's text and teacher's guide of the first module for secondary schools prepared for the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Chemistry (IAC) project. The main approach to teaching is to present chemistry as a dynamic field of knowledge concerning phenomena in the daily life of every individual. This module, the first in a series…

Describes how social aspects of science can be incorporated into teaching soap and detergents in British secondary chemistry and general science courses. Historical background to the use and production of soap and the development of detergents are also presented. (HM)

Provides the syllabus for an advanced level (A-level) electronics course in which communication computer and feedback systems are analyzed. (CP)

In this monograph, the implementation of consumer education topics into the science curriculum of secondary schools is advocated. Not only is the need for such activities explained, but several suggested instructional topics are provided. One area of recommended study is that of product comparison. A model outline of operation is provided, along…
