A modified Solomon design was employed to study the effects of a school psychology simulation package on the enacted and written response of a group of school psychology preservice students. Results suggest that simulation as an integral part of a school psychology training program is an effective method of instruction. (Author)

Discusses research efforts at the University of Windsor focusing on the question of whether it is the case that some or all of the deficits exhibited by children who are classified as learning disabled are due to cerebral impariment and suggests that a neuro-psychological approach can provide a useful heuristic framework.

Ten laboratory experiments are described which are used in a successful clinical biochemistry laboratory course (e.g. blood alcohol, glucose tolerance, plasma triglycerides, coronary risk index, gastric analysis, vitamin C and E). Most of the experiments are performed on the students themselves using simple equipment with emphasis on useful…

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)

Feeling that projects in chemistry could be used effectively to enhance appreciation of chemistry, a project-based course for the first-year sixth formers was developed in 1973 and because of its success another was organized. Projects from both courses are described. (EB)

Describes the preparation of a compound that is of particular interest because of its sandwich structure in which the metal atom is sandwiched between two planar C5H5-rings. Sublimation results in the formation of long thin plate-like crystals. (GS)

Describes the commercial uses, industrial production and laboratory production of 2-methylpentane-2,4-diol. Suggests extensions for the experiment in the areas of boiling point/composition curves and alkaline depolymerization. (GS)

A mathematics methods course for pre-service elementary teachers is described. The course is designed to prepare teachers for individualizing instruction and for flexibility in a period of rapid curriculum change. (SD)

The use of paper folding to demonstrate polygons which give plane tessellations, conic sections, and the solutions to several problems is described. (SD)
