Performance objectives are stated for this secondary school instructional unit concerned with aspects of physical chemistry, involving the physical properties of matter, and laws and theories regarding chemical interaction. Lists of films and state-adopted and other texts are presented. Included are enrollment guidelines; an outline summarizing…

The current curriculum modules under development at Project Solo are listed. The modules are grouped under the subject matter that they are designed to teach--algebra II, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, 12th grade math, physics, social science. Special programs written for use on the Hewlett-Packard Plotter are listed that may be…

Trends, from 1960 to 1963, in the teaching of chemistry in secondary schools in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States of America are outlined in the first part of this report of a 1963 working session on the teaching of school…

The text is a report of the OEEC Seminar on "The Mathematical Knowledge Required by the Physicist and Engineer" held in Paris, 1961. There are twelve major papers presented: (1) An American Parallel (describes the work of the Panel on Physical Sciences and Engineering of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics of the Mathematical…

The two student notebooks in this set provide the basic course outline and assignments for the second year of a four year senior high school unified science program. The two volumes contain these four units: Expansion of Ideas About the Nature of Matter, Characteristics of Living Matter, Mechanisms of Life Processes, and Patterns of Change. The…

This course, intended for first year chemistry students, introduces the mole concept through the use of experimentation. Performance objectives are specified and a course outline is given. A total of 42 experiments from eight texts, sources for eight demonstrations, and suggestions for accompanying film strips and film loops are included. Lists of…

The syllabi for the grade 11 biology, chemistry, physics and technician science courses taught in the Technical Schools of the Education Department of Victoria (Australia) each contain a listing of the topics to be taught, the scope and depth of treatment, suitable textbooks, possible demonstrations and laboratory work, and, in the case of the…

This report traces the development of a "Practical Chemistry" or "Vocational Chemistry" course for high school students who do not plan to attend four year colleges. Work was begun in 1964 at Northview High School, Covina, California and has resulted in the writing of experiments and Teacher's Guide materials as well as textbook materials for a…

This document outlines the operation of the Monte Carlo Integration Computer (MCIC), which is capable of simulating several types of chemical processes. Some data obtained through the MCIC simulation of physical processes are presented in graphs. After giving reasons for not using the initially contemplated summative research procedures for…

This publication is composed of 10 units, each based on an area of space science and technology in which chemistry plays an important role. Each resource unit can be used independently of the others and materials can be selected from within a unit. The materials range in difficulty from the junior high level of understanding to those that will…

At Tacoma Community College (Washington) a chemistry course was taught using instructional objectives. This document describes the course in terms of writing the objectives, instructional procedures and student attitudes. The instructor's overall conclusions were: (1) student reaction to the use of instructional objectives was very favorable; (2)…

The first section of this precis summarizes the general nature of the present chemical information systems of the world. The discussion is presented in four parts: (1) the primary literature, (2) secondary sources and services, (3) libraries and information centers and (4) other elements categorized as informal communications. The second section…

Due to the tremendous interest in all phases of environmental control, particularly with reference to water pollution control, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is attempting to provide the lay public with accurate information about water resources so they may react with proper knowledge and constructive activity. This anthology…

A DISCUSSION OF THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE EDUCATION WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO LABORATORY WORK AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SCIENCE TEACHING ARE PRESENTED. THE DISCUSSION OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES INCLUDES SUCH TOPICS AS (1) THE PURPOSE OF THE LABORATORY IN SCIENCE TEACHING, (2) THE NATURE OF THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC…

Described is a qualitative analysis laboratory procedure for high school chemistry students. The paper received the Science Teaching Achievement Recognition (STAR) award. The procedure acquaints students with certain ions and uses the knowledge of ions to devise a flow-chart for separating and identifying these ions in an unknown solution. (SL)
