Fifty-seven selected 16mm films are listed under the headings: General Interest Films, General Science Films, Physics Films, Chemistry Films, and Biology Films. The listing of each film includes a brief description of content and recommended grade levels. References are given to booklets in The Atomic Energy Commission's "Understanding the…

Two standing committees of the Advisory Council on College Chemistry, the Teacher Development Committee and the Two-Year College Committee, jointly sponsored a 2-part study of the chemistry programs and faculty of 2-year colleges during 1966-1967. Preliminary results of the study were reported and discussed at a conference held in Dallas, Texas,…

The evaluation and use of plastics in the construction industry are explained. The contributors offer extensive, timely, and thoroughly researched data on the chemistry, properties, functions, engineering behavior, and specific applications of plastics to building requirements. The major subjects discussed in depth are--(1) the role of plastics in…

This unit of instruction includes nine laboratory experiments. All of the experiments are from the D.C. Health Revision of the Chemical Education Materials Study (CHEMS) with one exception. Program six is the lab from the original version of the CHEMS program. Each program consists of three parts (1) the lab and computer hints, (2) the description…

The authors of this curriculum supplement believe in a laboratory approach to chemistry and express the feeling that environmental chemistry provides the students an opportunity to apply theoretical chemistry to important practical problems. There are eighteen activities presented, each accompanied with behavioral objectives, one or more suggested…

This course guide is the fifth in a series dealing with chemistry. The course is specifically designed for students interested in taking the Advanced Placement Chemistry examination and thus is equivalent to a first year college general chemistry course. Included in the guide are performance objectives, visual aids, a course outline, a list of…

An experimental treatment consisting of inquiry laboratory experiences was administered to a group of 41 students enrolled in an introductory college chemistry course. Using a control group of 36 for comparison, students were evaluated to determine attitudinal changes, critical thinking skills, content mastery, laboratory performance skills, and…

Reported is an examination of the use and effects of chlorides as de-icing products for removal of snow and ice from roads immediately following storms. Increasing evidence of detrimental side effects led to a closer look and more careful evaluation of the overall significance of the so-called "bare pavement maintenance." The side…

Reported is a study representing a chronological history of selected objectives for the teaching of secondary school chemistry in the United States during the 1918-1972 period. Periodical literature was the primary source of materials reviewed, consisting of "School Science and Mathematics" (1918-1972), "Science Education" and "The General Science…

This publication contains information on the individualization of instruction in high school chemistry in the form of a case study. The subject of the case study is the P. K. Yonge Laboratory School of the University of Florida, Gainesville. The instructional model, however, was also field-tested in 18 schools during 1971-72 and 1972-73. The…

This document presents a report of the Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) Committee concerned with references to previously measured physical properties. A partial list of data that are of use to the chemical engineer is assembled in three tables. References are listed by title, author, publisher, and date. Following each…

The Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) guidelines identify desirable features of large-scale computer programs including running cost and running-time limit. Also discussed are programming standards, documentation, program installation, system requirements, program testing, and program distribution. Lists of types of…

Investigated were possible relationships between performance in general college chemistry and secondary school preparation in chemistry. The researcher examined achievement in general college chemistry as a possible function of the student's high school science courses, mathematics courses, socioeconomic status, and scores on the ACT tests. Data…

This is an experimental course of study designed to introduce the junior high school student to the field of chemistry through his knowledge and understanding of chemical reactions which take place in his world. The everday experiences which the student encounters show the classification, phases, and changes of matter. No prerequisite courses are…

Twenty-one modules from ALCHEM, a computer-assisted instruction program, are presented. ALCHEM consists of a set of modular programs which are used at Simon Fraser University to cover some basic concepts introduced in an introductory college-level general chemistry course. The interactive exercises do not furnish background information or…
