Describes an experimental method of measuring the molecular weight and subunit corporation of an oligomeric protein. (SL)

Describes a procedure to demonstrate the effect of a magnetic force on a moving charge. The materials used are inexpensive and with the use of an overhead projector, easily visible to an entire class. (CP)

Describes a geology laboratory exercise involving weathering and topographic maps which allows students to put knowledge to practical application. (SL)

Describes a simple chemistry laboratory experiment which allows students to calculate thermodynamic values. (SL)

Describes a laboratory kinetic experiment which demonstrates the important phenomenon of general catalysis by bases and/or acids. (SL)

Examination of the snowfall and total precipitation data for Rochester, New York, suggests a correlation with sunspot activity. Data from other locations tend to support the thesis, but the ability to predict yearly snowfall or total precipitation amounts from sunspot activity has yet to be developed. (Author/CP)

Describes an experiment for determining the thermal neutron flux of the light-water nuclear reactor at the University of California, Irvine. The difficulty of the activity can be varied to match the student's level of proficiency. (SL)
