Teachers are often careless with words. This can lead to confused ideas and time spent in unlearning. (BB)

One of the main problems for the chemist conducting any type of research is ascertaining what has been reported, and where. This problem stems from: (1) the diffuseness of the publications which contain articles relevant to the educational researcher; and (2) the lack of a comprehensive abstract and information retrieval service.

A description is given of an Algebra II-Chemistry I combined high school class being taught in an attempt to coordinate chemistry topics with related mathematics topics. (MP)

Two computer programs have been written in BASIC as a teaching aid for instruction of HNC, HND, and degree students in enzyme kinetics. (BB)

An electron correlation calculation is presented for the hydrogen molecule which should prove useful in presenting the idea of electron correlation. (BB)

Chemistry pretest scores, high school chemistry grades and, to a greater extent, math SAT scores were useful predictors of college general chemistry grades. Regression analysis of all these predictors combined was used to construct an expectancy table which is being used to identify and advise underprepared students. (BB)

Discussed is the use of instructional aids in chemistry teaching as it relates to mechanisms of learning. (BB)

Reviews new science equipment and products for the laboratory. Includes hand-held calculators, fiberglass fume hoods, motorized microtomy, disposable mouse cages, and electric timers. Describes 11 products total. Provides manufacturer name, address, and price. (MA)

Investigates Mercury concentration in ocean water in the Gulf Stream. A correlation was found between variations in mercury and silicate, suggesting a common link in their marine geochemistry. (HM)

Presents a discussion of the early developments in the field of quantum chemistry. (BB)

Discusses the determination of the position of the absorption maximum in wide bands as well as the confidence limits for such calculations. A simple method, suited for pocket calculators, for the numerical evaluation of these calculations is presented. (BB)

Describes process-based practical work used in Scottish high school examinations and evaluates this work against a standard of course objectives for practical work in general. (MLH)

Cites statistics of a National Science Foundation report on scientists and engineers in 1974. Reports that chemists are better educated, older, have a better chance of being employed, and do more work for industry, than other scientific personnel. (MLH)

Presents in table form information from numerous articles so that a particular reaction can be quickly located. (MLH)

Discusses the activities and role of this committee, and reports on a recent conference. (MLH)
