Discusses the Nuffield Science Project and contrasts its philosophy with traditional science instruction in Britain. Describes aspects of the chemistry curriculum which reflect the aims of the Project, and outlines some radical changes that have taken place in examinations in science. (JR)

Reports and discusses the findings of a pilot study concerned with the diffusion, adoption, and implementation of the Nuffield A-Level Biological Science Project. (JR)

Reports the findings of a study which investigated problems associated with the adoption of the Nuffield Combined Science Project by middle schools in Britain. (JR)

Reports the results of a study relating to the objectives that teachers deem most important in elementary school science. Elementary teachers of Victoria (Australia) and Britain hold similar opinions about elementary science objectives, valuing especially the abilities to observe, solve problems, classify data, and communicate ideas. (JR)

Discussed is a science-appreciation course based on goals and performance objectives such as having the student appreciate the concepts of science and the men who put these concepts into readable and understandable terms. (DF)

Discusses the development of a course designed to interest the average high school student. It is socially oriented in its approach to science and has been employed, in both the United States and Israel, for nonscience students. (DF)

Discusses briefly some features of the Australian Science Education Project, ASEP, and experiences of teachers and students with these materials. Implications of this program are identified in terms of cost, time, classroom management, teacher education, and evaluation. (PS)

A special course should be developed to emphasize the scientist's role in society, and to make science students more responsive to society's needs. Existing courses of history and philosophy of science generally fall short of meeting these objectives. (PS)

Preliminary evaluation report describes two distinct portions of the unit Pushes and Pulls'' in Australian Science Education Project materials. The first portion of the unit is highly structured and the second completely devoid of structure. A detailed description of content analysis technique used is included. (PS)

This section reports on curriculum development efforts in England in the fields of chemistry and biology. A reading list related to teaching geology is included. (PS)

A course based on the science used in science fiction stories is described wherein the students read the stories and discuss the physics content. A partial list of the books read is included along with the background theme and appropriate references. (DF)

This paper, presented at the 1971 Annual School Science and Mathematics Association Convention, identifies crucial directions in science curriculum planning and discusses the supporting rationale. (DT)
