This unit of instruction deals with the physiological activities of plants. Attention is focused on the principles which underlie the activities of the typical green land plant. Emphasis is placed on biological processes such as photosynthesis, water transport, light responses, mineral nutrition, reproduction, and growth. The prerequisite for…

This book, divided into three parts, discusses the principles and practice of functional movement in terms of the full range of educational gymnastics. It can be used for elementary school, high school, and college students, since teachers can modify or extend the suggestions according to the experience and ability of the classes. Part one,…

This biology course is especially recommended for students interested in a vocation in nursing, medical technology, dental hygiene or other para-medical areas. In part, it is considered a second course in biology. The course includes an intensive in-depth study of the respiratory structures, nerve and chemical control of breathing, gas exchange,…

This booklet presents six articles dealing with rejuvenating physical education instruction in the elementary schools. The first article encourages the use of the 50-yard dash, the broad and high jumps, and relay races in physical education programs. The second article presents movement exercises that are designed to help children explore, solve…

The Australian Science Education Project is producing a series of units designed for use in grades 7 - 10. This first trial edition contains a teachers guide, providing an overview of the unit and advice on mice management and classroom organization; booklets for students ("Mammals,""Investigations,""Care and Handling of…

This paper provides a descriptive overview of research on the consequences of overcrowding and the development of high population densities in animals, and speculates on the relevance of these studies for similar human phenomena. Three major foci are distinguished: (1) the effect of high population densities on animal behavior; (2) the nature of…

In order to determine ways in which disabled and non-disabled people react to low levels of stress, the reliability of heart and respiratory measures under different conditions was studied. Eighty-five subjects (paraplegics, cardiacs, and physically normal controls) were given a variety of tests with the following results: over a 1-week interval…

Nuffield Secondary Science is a set of tested materials from which teachers can prepare courses for students in grades 9-11 (approximately) who do not intend to major in science. The materials are designed for British secondary schools but are adaptable to other countries. The Teachers' Guide to the entire set of Themes is described in SE 015 440…

Verbal recall of bisensory memory tasks was compared among 48 9- to 12-year old boys in three groups: normal readers, primary deficit readers, and secondary deficit readers. Auditory and visual stimulus pairs composed of digits, which incorporated variations of intersensory and intrasensory conditions were administered to Ss through a Bell and…

Track and field coaching is considered an art embodying three sciences--physiology, psychology, and dynamics. It is the area of dynamics, the branch of physics that deals with the action of force on bodies, that is central to this book. Although the book does not cover the entire realm of dynamics, the laws and principles that relate directly to…

Discusses reasons for viewing physiology as an independent discipline rather than as a subtopic of both biology and medicine. (MLH)

Two specialized facilities to produce cells and cell components on a large scale for scientific research have recently been established by the National Science Foundation. (BB)

The metabolism and toxicology of the herbicide 2, 4, 5-T are reviewed. (BB)

Because of the difficulty in instructing students in pediatric physical examination and because of the previously proven usefulness of simulators in medical education, Indiana University School of Medicine has developed a family of infant simulators for use in their pediatric education program. Four models are discribed. (LBH)

Provides a brief overview of microprocessor architecture. Includes the capabilities of small digital computer systems, a listing of the major components, and price ranges. (MA)
