This report addresses the initial phase of a multiphase effort to install Training Assistance Technology (TAT) capabilities on a submarine combat system trainer (SCST), and evaluate their effectiveness during a formal training course. This phase addresses the (1) selection of the trainer and course with which to conduct the evaluation, (2)…

This is the second in a series of guidebooks written for elementary school teachers to help improve their science teaching. The book emphasizes processes of science and creativity as well as science content. The book is divided into three sections--the atmosphere, the lithosphere, and the hydrosphere. Each chapter begins with simple concepts, and…

This is the third in a series of guidebooks written for elementary school teachers to assist them in improving their science instruction. The book attempts to emphasize processes and creativity as well as content. Atoms and molecules constitute the subject matter of the publication. Many experiments and demonstrations are included.

The first article in this publication concerns radio-telemetry temperature studies of homoiotherms and poikilotherms. Radio telemetry reduces the problems related to demonstrating the differences between "warm-blooded" and "cold-blooded" animals; results may be plotted graphically, compared and used to generate classroom…

The problem of the uncooperative experiment arises with the use of human subjects. Evidence shows that typical volunteer subjects have the following characteristics: better education, higher paying jobs, greater need for approval, lower authoritarianism, higher I.Q. score, and better adjustment to personal questions than nonvolunteers. Data also…

The purpose of this study is to determine categories of learning styles based on research on the chemical and physiological correlates of learning, as well as the development of simple measures that would allow an investigator to place a subject within one or more of these categories. The data from eight experiments with rats suggests that there…

Provided are 45 experiments in chemistry which have been used successfully by students in secondary school chemistry classrooms. Additional investigations directed at further inquiry on the part of the student are included. The experiments are directed at the development of science process skills and many of the concepts and generalizations which…

The twenty experiments in this text have been designed to give the scientific glassblowing technician the opportunity to use scientific glass apparatus in the study of physical science. Primary emphasis of these experiments is on the practical application of the physical science program as a working tool for the scientific glassblowing technician.…

An innovative and effective laboratory experiment of chemical reference literature is reported. The objectives of the experiment are to acquaint the first term student of college chemistry with the vast source of chemical literature that is available to him; to raise the general level of scientific literacy of these first term college students;…

The indroduction of on-line data collection and data processing techniques into an intermediate physics laboratory is described. Using a minimum configuration PDP-8L and a Digital Equipment AD01 analog to digital converter, an interface is developed with two existing experiments. These are a microwave apparatus used to simulate Bragg diffraction…

This physics laboratory manual is the result of curriculum development begun at Aviation High School (New York City) in 1967. It represents a semester of advanced laboratory work for those students who have completed the usual course in physics. The 91 laboratory experiments included in the manual have been developed and modified through use for…

Describes a kinetics experiment that utilizes timed reactions and colored endpoints and is suitable for large laboratory sections. (MLH)

Describes an engineering course that stresses various philosophies and methodologies of experimentation, along with the techniques of experimental synthesis. (MLH)
