Describes the conduct of a new course in Peru designed for physics teachers at the university level with emphases upon learning of up-to-date teaching and laboratory techniques. Included is a description of local degree programs and basic philosophy underlying teacher education. (CC)

Discusses the procedures of conducting skill sessions in the teaching of physics to undergraduates. Indicates that the interim method can help students in acquiring necessary skills to solve problems but needs further improvement to become more useful. (CC)

The comparative effectiveness of an aversive stimulus, withholding of resources, withdrawal of love, and reasoning, when used alone and when combined with praise, was assessed in a standard laboratory punishment paradigm with first and second grade children. (CS)

Discusses the design of a modified loop-the-loop apparatus in which a water stream is used to illustrate centripetal forces and phenomena of high-velocity hydrodynamics. Included are some procedures of carrying out lecture demonstrations. (CC)

Discusses the design of a device which serves to demonstrate the principle of acceleration and phase stability by accelerating gravitationally a ball bearing along a spiral groove. Application of the design principle to the acceleration aspect of a linear accelerator is recommended. (CC)

Discusses the use of four strain gauges, a Wheatstone bridge, and an oscilloscope to measure forces dynamically. Included is an example of determining the centripetal force of a pendulum in a general physics laboratory. (CC)

This article describes how the system for coordinating the teaching of its beginning languages works at the Department of European Languages and Literature at the University of Hawaii. As well, it describes how some of its procedures have involved and affected the local high school and college community. (Author/RK)

Describes a college language program in which modern feature films in German are used as the core material in the curriculum. (RL)
