Discusses a laboratory experiment in which uranium is isolated by the reduction of uranyl acetate. (MLH)

Describes the synthesis of a sweetening compound that requires seven laboratory periods of three-hours duration. (MLH)

Included are abstracts of 40 science projects for secondary level courses of biology, physical science, and chemistry. (SL)

Describes a company-paid continuing education program for chemical technicians. The courses are offered on-site during working hours, are taught by both staff scientists and college faculty, and earn both continuing education units and college credit at West Virginia State College. (MLH)

Describes four toxic effects of red tide microorganisms and the economic impact of the red tide bloom on seafood and related industries in several locations of the U.S. (MLH)

Describes a course that covers such topics as the archeological dating processes and methods that enable the identification and authentication of artifacts, including X-ray diffraction, optical emission spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and neutron activation analysis. (MLH)

Describes a laboratory procedure for separating a mixture of plastics representative of scrap plastic using various solvents and solubility techniques. (MLH)

Described is an undergraduate laboratory experiment involving synthesis of chelidonic acid and its identification in plants. The experiment is offered as an ancillary topic for biology or chemistry classes. (SL)

Discusses precaution in handling laboratory chemicals and research animals. Gives references, suggested readings, and a table showing fire hazard properties of some flammable liquids. (MLH)

Summarizes seven papers presented at the Fourth Biennial Conference on Chemical Education that dealt with the use of non-computer visual aids in teaching chemistry, including slides and molecular models. (MLH)

Describes the use of a Hewlett-Packard 9810A programmable desk calculator with plotter for drawing ball-and-line stereopairs as well as three-dimensional structural formulas which are useful for teaching stereochemical principles and molecular structure. (MLH)

Describes the process of self-regulation, which Piaget hypothesizes governs all intellectual growth, and suggests a way in which homework problems in a chemistry course can be used to provide students with an opportunity for self-regulation. (MLH)

Describes an experiment that uses anodic stripping voltammetry as an alternative to atomic absorption for quantitating lead and cadmium leached from pottery samples. (MLH)

Reports on all situations during the last six months in which three or more chemists or chemical engineers were terminated. This report covers 13 such incidents by 10 employers. (MLH)

Relates some teaching experiences and observations of the 1976 recipient of the James Bryant Conant Award in High School Chemistry Teaching. (MLH)
