This guide was developed for use in grades K-6 as an enrichment program based on clarifying values. The program, designed by teachers, aims to develop in the student a greater awareness and understanding of the community, themselves, and the earth. The program includes a number of environmental encounters. Topical themes lead teachers and students…

The fourth of four levels in a K-12 science curriculum is outlined. In Level 4 (grades 9-12), science areas include earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Six major themes provide the basis for study in all levels (K-12). These are: Change, Continuity, Diversity, Interaction, Limitation, and Organization. In Level 4, all six themes are…

This teachers guide to be used with the second-year student manual, "Stationary Engineering Science Manual--2," contains 140 lesson plans, corresponding to the lessons in the student manual. The lessons are brief and each involves concrete trade experiences where science is applied with 26 lessons also involving mathematical problems…

This issue, number 31 in the series, is divided into three sections: British science activities, Overseas science activities, and International science activities. The British activities section reviews current curriculum projects and educational research in British secondary level science and mathematics education. Included in the Overseas…

Experiments with adapted apparatus which allow blind children to discover principles are described. Individualized experiences, specifically designed, are developed in four curricula and a sample lesson is presented. (EB)

An instrument which affords blind students opportunities for direct observation, experimentation, and discovery is described. Accompanying the light sensor is a manual containing 25 experiments. (EB)

Articles focused on speech prejudice and how to overcome it, a reading program that stressed student interests, a learning experience in which elementary students designed a small zoo, and suggestions for developing nonverbal communication between students and their teachers. (RK)

Outlines an experimental procedure in which an iodine radioisotope is used to determine molar combining ratios of lead and silver with the iodine. Tables and graphs show the definitive results that should be attainable. (CP)

Describes an instrument developed to quantitatively evaluate the participation levels of students on outdoor education activities. From photographs taken at two minute intervals, students are assigned values for their observed behaviors. The correlations of values assigned by several judges are shown. (CP)

An inexpensive, creative learning environment is described. Supplies, method of assembly, experiences to be encountered in its use and additional value for its use are described. (EB)

Describes a cooperative research and construction project suitable for undergraduate physics students. Steps involved in the development of a device to demonstrate the distribution of molecular velocities in gases are detailed. (CP)

Describes a laboratory experiment in which the students prepare an antichap lipstick from basic ingredients and demonstrate solubility relationships between these ingredients and water. (MLH)

The pedagogy and an extensive listing of topics suitable for large scale demonstrations are provided. (CP)

Describes the simple construction and operation of an inexpensive photographic enlarger. (CP)

Photographs are provided as an aid in the description of steps involved in the construction of an aquarium. (CP)
