One of the Laboratory's four major programs--the Computer Technology Program--seeks to promote the Laboratory's mission by developing materials for…

Reported were programs and procedures developed by the Eastern Regional Institute for Education (ERIE) to install a process oriented science program in regional elementary schools. Three installation phases were involved: 1) selection of the installation vehicle by ERIE and local schools, 2) installation tryout, and 3) adoption of the installed…

The development of the campus laboratory school is traced from its origins in Europe in the seventeenth century and in the United States normal school schools of the 1820's. These schools served for practice, as models of the desired teaching methods and provided opportunities for student teaching. Even before 1900 the function of the schools was…

This publication is one of a series of single-topic problem modules designed for use in undergraduate geology and earth science courses. The first section, "Ain't It Flat? A Series of Experiments in Geodesy," presents various experiments for determining the earth's circumference (historically) and describes the use of satellites in determining the…

This document is a source book for those who see the need to provide more meaningful mathematical experiences for students who have experienced little or no success in traditional programs. It is in four parts. In the first part, three innovative general mathematics projects are described. The second part outlines the mathematics laboratory…

In an effort to gain an overview of the application of computer technology in education and training, to identify areas requiring additional research, and to identify potential application areas for use in technical training, field visits were made to representative military and civilian institutions which are using the computer in instructional…

This is one of a set of curriculum guides for the Stoneham Elementary School Science Program (see SE 012 153 - SE 012 158). Each guide contains a chart illustrating the scope and sequence of the physical, life, and earth sciences introduced at each grade level. For each of the topics introduced at this grade level, an overview of the topic, a list…
