This module is part of a series designed to be used by life science students for instruction in the application of physical theory to ecosystem operation. Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process. FFORM is a portable format-free input subroutine package written in ANSI Fortran IV…

This learning module is concerned with the temperature field, the heat transfer rates, and the coolant pressure drop in typical high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel assemblies. As in all of the modules of this series, emphasis is placed on developing the theory and demonstrating its use with a simplified model. The heart of the module…

This module is part of a series on Physical Processes in Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems. The materials were designed to be used by life science students for instruction in the application of physical theory to ecosystem operation. Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process.…

This annotated bibliography provides sources for information on science education for the handicapped. Listings are provided of general references and also those dealing with research in the three areas of the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, and other handicapping conditions. (CS)

This final report on field testing of minicourses in undergraduate biology lists the objectives, procedures, applications, and conclusions of the project in which twelve schools utilizing minicourses, developed at Purdue University, were sampled. Data were collected and analyzed on student achievement, student attitude changes, and student…

This publication is a laboratory study guide designed for mechanical engineering students. All of the experiments (with the exception of experiment No. 1) contained in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Manual have been included in this guide. Brief theoretical backgrounds, examples and their solutions, charts, graphs, illustrations, and…

This set of notes is designed to introduce the student to the development and use of computer-based models, and to analyze quantitative phenomena in the life sciences. Only BASIC programming language is used. The ten chapter titles are: The Growth of a Single Species; The Association of Two Species; Parameter Determination; Automated Parameter…

This is the third in the second series of general bibliographies developed to disseminate information on documents analyzed at the ERIC Information Analysis Center for Science Education. Reported are some 297 citations of selected documents related to instructional equipment and materials for teaching and learning science. The documents included…

This is the eighth in the second series of general bibliographies developed to disseminate information on documents analyzed at the ERIC Information Analysis Center for Science Education. Reported are some 36 citations of selected documents in the areas of (1) legislative acts and reports, (2) administration and supervision, and (3) science…

The purpose of this study was to identify some of the characteristics of Negro college students who majored in science in comparison to those who were non-majors. The science majors were sub-divided into pure science and applied science groups for some analyses. Twelve variables were investigated: (1) ACT composite scores, (2) ACT science scores,…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the duties and work load, formal education, experiential background, and job mobility of instructors of physical and biological sciences in publicity-supported junior and community colleges. The survey instruments were returned by 366 instructors in 70 institutions in 31 states. Among the findings were:…

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to assess the creativity of a student through the products he creates. The instrument was called the Judging Criteria Instrument (JCI). This instrument was administered to 33 general physics students. Multiple criteria of teacher judgment scores and Torrance Tests of Creative…

This study correlates the relationship between varying methods in student evaluation and its effect on student achievement and attrition. The sample studied consisted of 230 students enrolled in three separate semesters of General Biology 11A at Pasadena City College in 1972, 1973, and 1974. The earlier students were given longer exams over three…
