Describes the Small Grants Award program developed by the North Country School Study Council and the Central New York School Study Council to help finance innovative projects proposed by teachers. (JG)

Studies the effectiveness of therapeutic modeling using dissimilar or similar models. Pre- and post-measures of fear were taken on behavioral and attitude dimensions. Behaviorally, model similarity in level of fear was unimportant, while similarity in age was. More similar models on either variable produced greater change in attitudes. (Author/SJL)

Describes three experiments which investigated the behavior of "Colisa fasciata" males in full breeding condition subjected to competition for nest sites and a single female. Concludes that for these fish territorial dominance is established in a relatively short time, the period varying with the intensity of competition. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which the rate of reaction can be followed using a colorimeter and data can be used to determine order of reaction, rate constant, and energy of activation. (GS)

Author relates how his school district taught elementary students to operate media equipment. (Author)

Describes an introductory course in geology for nonscience majors that involves students in laboratory exercises related to rock classification. (GS)

This simple example demonstrates the physical significance of similarity solutions and the utility of dimensional and asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations. A procedure to determine the existence of similarity solutions is proposed and subsequently applied to transient constant-flux heat transfer. Short-time expressions follow from…

This experiment leads to a value for the ground-state hyperfine splitting of Cs 133, the accepted standard of frequency, to one percent accuracy. (Author/GS)

Utilizes a rotating table and strobe photographs to provide students with a direct record for quantitatively analyzing rotational effects. (GS)
