Presented are some considerations relating to the problem of why human studies is still regarded as a new subject and why resistance to human studies as a new subject is so great. (PB)

Ways in which the concept of oxidation-reduction has been treated in the current popular textbooks of general college chemistry are discussed. (HM)

Presented is a justification for inorganic chemistry in general chemistry courses. (HM)

The concept of stereochemical nonequivalence (heterotopicity) of apparently identical ligands, or of apparently identical faces, is discussed. (HM)

Reported are results from two statewide surveys and additional interviews of teachers at all grade levels in elementary schools in New Hampshire. Data regarding time spent, methods, constraints, approaches, and services needed from colleges and universities indicate a shift away from science as a major part of the curriculum. (CS)

Describes "chemometrics" courses which focus on statistical and mathematical approaches for interpreting complex chemical data. (SK)

Outlines a lesson plan/strategy for making use of the space shuttle model in the elementary science classroom. (DS)

Presents a list of objectives drawn from results of a questionnaire sent to secondary and college chemistry teachers to indicate which ideas or concepts should be required of every student completing a secondary level chemistry course. Reviews rationale for the study and lists statements used in the questionnaire. (SK)

Indicates that physics textbooks currently used in Britain present a clear masculine image and argues that a change in "image management" could encourage more girls to enter physics. (Author/SK)

Summarizes the experiences of a zoology professor attempting to construct a student-centered course in neurophysiology. Various aspects of the organization and conduct of the course are described, including the beginning experience, topics of interest, lecture, laboratory, computer simulation, examinations, student lectures. Evaluation of the…

Discusses the major problems facing environmental geology programs today including the need for curriculum standardization and problems of poor student performance. (MA)

The head of a science department in a British high school discusses the effects that budget cuts are having on secondary school science teaching and offers some suggestions for minimizing the dangers. (Editor/SJL)
