This student guide is for the second year of the Portland Project, a three-year integrated secondary school science curriculum. "Motion and Energy," the first of the two parts in this volume, begins with the study of motion, going from the quantitative description of motion to a consideration of what causes motion and a discussion of…

This unit, intended for students in grades eight or nine, is a revised version of ED 053 990. The teacher's guide lists the aims of the unit, behavioral objectives, suitable references and audio-visual aids, required apparatus and materials, and provides teaching notes for each activity, including comments concerning microbiological techniques.…

This publication of Computer Oriented Materials Production for Undergraduate Teaching (COMPUTe), is intended to aid in the development of an autotutorial program for college-level undergraduate physics. Particularly in the area of mechanics, the author feels there is a need for a tutorial program which enables students to use a variety of…

This second-year student manual contains 140 brief related science lessons applying science and math to trade activities in the field of stationary engineering. The lessons are organized into 16 units: (1) Introduction to Stationary Engineering, (2) Engineering Fundamentals, (3) Steam Boilers, (4) Boiler Fittings, (5) Boilerroom System, (6)…

This booklet is designed to help science teachers who would like to improve the reading skills of their students. The first section of the booklet has three purposes: to acquaint the science teacher with meanings of terms related to reading in science, to acquaint the teacher with reading skills which can be taught and/or reinforced through…

The laboratory approach to science and mathematics is described as a refreshing change for both teacher and students. Suggestions are given for planning a laboratory-based program. Guidelines for teachers of both handicapped and non handicapped are included. A school for handicapped children in Minneapolis is described. (EB)

Advocates a strong emphasis on the teaching of the design of electronic circuits in undergraduate courses. An instructional paradigm involving the design and construction of a single-transistor amplifier is provided. (CP)

Explains a technique by which three dimensional displays of transistor characteristics can be demonstrated on a cathode ray tube. (CP)

Describes a laboratory experiment, suitable for senior undergraduates, that illustrates energy transfer processes in photochemical reactions. (MLH)

Provides two exercises in abstract problem solving. Intended to parallel a physicist's approach to the solution of a law of nature, the activities are open ended without definite answers. (CP)

Describes several microbiology labs and the maintenance of a bacteria bank for use by all schools in a district. (LS)

Provides a detailed description of the logic circuitry required for the experiment on undergraduate statistics described in SE 516 104. (CP)

Reports on a method of determining the coefficient of friction of an object through the use of a record turntable. (CP)

Presents a science activity that can be organized and made functional in a willing community to include an array of unique environmentally- oriented occupations and an abundance of natural resources. The activity will improve academic performance and attitudes of young students. (EB)
