This curriculum outline consists of behavioral objectives (called terminal and enabling objectives) for Introduction to Engineering Chemistry, a one-semester, post-secondary course consisting of four 1-hour lectures each week. Course goal is to introduce marine engineering students to the rudiments of basic/introductory inorganic chemistry. The…

This study was designed to find out how far suggested textbooks have been adopted in teaching a new chemistry syllabus in Kenya and if the chemistry books now being used in schools to teach the new syllabus involve activity and encourage the process of scientific inquiry. The new syllabus is a merger between the traditional separate chemistry…

It is generally assumed that the inclusion of rich audio/visual presentations in Web-based tutorials will increase student performance. Limited data exist that either support this theory or describe the conceptual framework within which Web presentations are most effective. The author evaluated the efficacy of several Web-based tutorials featuring…

More science laboratories are being built because of larger enrollments in academics and schools. There is an increase in hands-on/process science effected by the renewed interest in and priority of science education. New science curricula like Biotechnology and Advanced college type program courses are being introduced with the use of exotic…

These materials were developed to make the structure and use of the chemical literature clear to chemistry students and to help them become independent and intelligent users of the library. The design of Chemical Literature Exercises and Resources (CLEAR) includes a users' note and five main parts: introduction to chemical literature, chemical…

The first part of this paper addresses the following topics: (1) the usefulness of microcomputers; (2) applications for microcomputers in analytical chemistry; (3) costs; (4) major microcomputer systems and subsystems; and (5) which microcomputer to buy. Following these brief comments, the major focus of the paper is devoted to a discussion of…

The use of elementary science magazines to generate interest and provide resources for scientific information other than chemistry is discussed. Several examples are provided of ways in which "Science World" and other magazines can be used to generate material of interest to college students. (CS)

This research study investigated student perception of the social learning environment in biology, chemistry and physics courses. A stratified random sample of secondary schools from three regions was selected. The principal of each sampled school randomly selected a biology, chemistry or physics teacher who, in turn, randomly selected one of his…

This document presents a training course on water pollution developed by the staff of the National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt. This course, which is organized by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO), is intended for Junior Bachelor of Science (B.S.) graduates from various Arab countries. The duration of the…

This study guide contains typical questions and answers that all levels of water treatment plant operators might expect to find on a certification examination. The manual covers the basic sciences, treatment techniques, testing procedures, and federal legislation. (Author/SB)

SELECTED RESEARCH STUDIES PUBLISHED DURING 1959-1963 RELATED TO SECONDARY SCIENCE EDUCATION WERE SURVEYED, CLASSIFIED, AND BRIEFLY ANALYZED. THE CATEGORIES USED TO CLASSIFY THE 103 STUDIES INCLUDED--(1) CURRICULUM STUDIES, (2) CURRICULUM EVALUATION, (3) LEARNING, ABILITY, AND ACHIEVEMENT, (4) METHODS AND ORGANIZATION FOR TEACHING, (5) INSTRUCTION…

THIS OUTLINE HAS BEEN ORGANIZED IN A FORM WHICH PERMITS THE TEACHING OF CONSERVATION TO THE GREATEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS, BY INTERWEAVING THE SUBJECT WITH THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMONLY TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOLS. THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE SCIENCES AND BECOMES MORE MEANINGFUL TO STUDENTS WHEN THE…

This laboratory guide for college chemistry students illustrates scientific equipment used in introductory chemistry courses. Common laboratory procedures are diagrammed with the intention of promoting the safe use of equipment. An index is included to facilitate finding the necessary information. (SA)

Investigated was the effect of different types of laboratory reports on measured outcomes of the Chemical Education Materials Study (CHEMS) Chemistry. Compared were procedures using essay laboratory reports, mimeographed laboratory sheets prepared by the investigator and completed by the students, the laboratory manual for the course completed by…
