TEN CHILDREN AGED 5-8 WERE SELECTED TO TEST A SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL, SELF-OPERATING SYSTEM TO DEVELOP LIPREADING SKILLS. THEIR HEARING DEFICIENCY RANGED FROM HARD OF HEARING TO PROFOUNDLY DEAF. THE SYSTEM CONSISTED OF THREE STUDY CARRELS, AN 8-MM CARTRIDGE-LOADING SOUND MOTION PICTURE PROJECTOR, AND AN OBSERVATION BOOTH UTILIZING A ONE-WAY MIRROR.…

A DISCUSSION OF THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE EDUCATION WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO LABORATORY WORK AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SCIENCE TEACHING ARE PRESENTED. THE DISCUSSION OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES INCLUDES SUCH TOPICS AS (1) THE PURPOSE OF THE LABORATORY IN SCIENCE TEACHING, (2) THE NATURE OF THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC…

This booklet contains institutional capability profiles on the 17 educational laboratories and R&D centers primarily supported by the National Institute of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Each institution presents its capabilities in terms of mission, programs, resources, staff, and facilities. The original…

Live specimens are necessary to the teaching of biology because observations of animals during lessons and outside the classroom exert a tremendous influence on a child's developing interest in biology and provide him realistic notions of the animals he studies. Exemplary lessons are provided. (Author/ND)

Describes an undergraduate atomic absorption experiment in which the iron and manganese concentrations in dry cat food are determined. (MLH)

Describes an organic chemistry experiment that illustrates dimerization, gas chromatography analysis and separation, and the thermodynamic basis for Markovnikov's rule. (MLH)

After receiving creativity instruction in how to approach laboratory problems, a group of college chemistry students made significant improvements in both laboratory technique and creativity as shown on an instrument designed for this study. (MLH)

Suggests the use of a colorimeter in which heat produced is related to the amperage and voltage measured. In relating the quantities, a definition for voltage can be obtained. (CP)

Describes a technique for making fairly good quality ocular micrometers at low cost for measuring microscopic specimen size in biology courses. (LS)

Provides a solution to the Blackwood pendulum experiment by the use of conservation of linear momentum and conservation of energy of translational motion. (CP)

Describes the operation and educational benefits of the use of a closed circuit television system in the demonstration of a hologram. (CP)
