Suggests that Experiment 13.2 (c) of the Nuffield 0-Level Chemistry Course be banned since the oxidation of lithium under very humid conditions can cause an explosion. (LS)

Describes graduate training geared specifically to prepare students for work in industry. Reports on schools offering such a program, and outlines the major characteristics of each school's curriculum. (GS)

Describes a general chemistry level kinetics experiment requiring three 3-hour laboratory periods. Data analyses can be accomplished with graphical techniques or a non-linear least squares computer program. (MLH)

Describes a computer simulation experiment in which physical chemistry students can determine all of the kinetic parameters of a reaction, such as order of the reaction with respect to each reagent, forward and reverse rate constants for the overall reaction, and forward and reverse activation energies. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which general and physical chemistry students can determine the heat of vaporization of a volatile substance from experimental laboratory data using timesharing techniques. (MLH)

Presents an extended annual review of employment for chemists and chemical engineers. Includes 1975 employment statistics, a discussion of what employers are seeking, salaries of professional chemists, the status of U.S. spending in research and development, and a variety of aids available to both new and experienced chemical professionals in…

Describes an undergraduate chemistry laboratory course designed to acquaint the students with the major laboratory instruments, the chemical literature, and methods for writing effective laboratory reports. (MLH)

Includes a discussion of the structure of some molecules and the design of an experiment to replace CHEM Study Experiment 7. (GS)

Describes a course which used a student project approach and was designed to replace traditional instrumental analysis. Presents the criteria used for project selection and gives examples of student projects in 1974. (GS)

Describes material modified from the Nuffield advanced chemistry course to make it meaningful and relevant to pupils in the middle school. Discusses a series of simple experiments on apple browning and summarizes the browning process and its control. (Author/GS)

Describes ways in which the high school chemistry teacher can be more effective. Suggestions include acting as a vocational counselor, starting a modest research program for students, and personally interacting with students by discussing chemistry with them outside of the classroom. (MLH)

Describes various courses and programs designed to better prepare graduates to enter the chemical industry, including courses which stress the chemistry of industrial processes, and the economics of the chemical industry. (MLH)

Illustrates a safe and easy way of igniting a hydrogen-oxygen mixture and lists the equipment used. (BR)

This article describes the system used at the Metropolitan Campus of Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio) to prepare single-concept slide sets for a course in introductory chemistry for students with poor verbal and quantitative skills. (DC)
