Directions are given for the construction of a manometer to measure animal metabolism. Steps in an experiment to measure frog metabolism are specified. (DT)

Describes the use of bio-medically significant materials to teach a self-pacing chemistry laboratory course to nursing majors. Indicates that the student can learn from the course to determine values of body fluid constituents, about their variations among healthy populations, and about difficulties inherent in making such measurements. (CC)

Discusses the offering of day-long sessions entitled "Science and Society" to high school students at Kansas State Teachers College with the purpose of increasing public understanding of science. Included is a brief description of laboratory experiments carried out in the sessions. (CC)

Discusses the educational values of participating in science fairs, and outlines the procedure used at Saint Ursula Academy, Toledo, to interest each biology student in an individual investigation. (JR)

This document reports on an educational research study addressing problems of classroom dynamics in the elementary level science laboratory. Major aims included identification of student and teacher roles, role departures, and pupil thought processes through pupil behaviors. Results indicate that changes in teacher and pupil roles do not…

Presents complete instructions for assembling an electric motor which does not require large amounts of power to operate and which is inexpensive as well as reliable. Several open-ended experiments with the motor are included as well as information for obtaining a kit of parts and instructions. (BR)

Suggests finding a bee tree as an interesting student activity for a science club. Much background material on bees is given, but few experiments or activities with the bees are suggested. (BR)

Describes construction of a Geologic Time Scale on a 100 foot roll of paper and suggests activities concerning its use. Includes information about fossils and suggestions for conducting a fossil field trip with students. (BR)

Describes 17 activities which are aerospace oriented and yet provide an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Some of the activities described involve paper airplanes, parachutes, model rockets, etc. (BR)

Describes how science activities can be used to stimulate language development in the elementary grades. Two aerospace activities are described involving liquid nitrogen and the launching of a weather balloon which integrate aerospace interests into the development of language skills. (BR)

Describes materials and techniques suitable for class fieldwork on the ecology of the cyanogenesis polymorphism of white clover. Details of a school trial are presented and discussed. (Author/EB)
