Reviews properties of nerves, analogous networks in propagation of electrical signals in axons, and regenerative changes in membrane permeability due to propagation of the action potential, which can be explained in the noncalculus physics course. (CC)

Emphasizes that from a practical point of view, it is important that studies with malnourished children emphasize the interactions between nutrition and environment rather than attempt complex, costly experiments which hopefully will assess the contribution of each of the components alone. (Author/JM)

The development of physical education in the curriculum has necessitated attention to the planning of school facilities, to training physical education teachers, to passing GTO norms (see SO 500 866) and to organizing outside activities. (JH)

Current results suggest the need to reconsider the rationale of attempts to reinforce the nutritional status of many Negro and some white school children through the continued heavy reliance on school milk programs, and its strong emphasis on milk consumption. Presented at the American School Health Association, October, 1972. (Author)

Describes two experiments in physiology using a readily available marine vertebrate, the flounder. Representative results are presented from experiments which measure the effect of excess potassium on the flounder EKG, and the effect of temperature on heart rate of the starry flounder. (JR)

Describes an indoor exercise and recreational facility designed for first, second, and third graders in a remodeled ballroom-catering hall annex to an overcrowded elementary school in the Bronx. The minigym has been designed around the philosophy that a physical environment should entice children to be physically active. (Author/DN)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between high school girl smokers and nonsmokers, age 14 to 18 years, on selected tests of physical fitness. (Author)

A pre-vocational unit for orthopedically and neurologically handicapped children exposes the children to careers, as well as provides direction for their futures by allowing for understanding of their limitations and abilities in partaking in normal everyday life processes. (Author)
