Describes Practice School Stations operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including goals, station operation, description of field stations, and program descriptions. (JN)

Discusses distillation of liquid mixtures with the emphasis on experimental work. A number of experiments, intended for chemistry secondary school teachers in the United Kingdom, are included. (HM)

Presents a method for graphically illustrating Le Chatelier's principle, suitable for the general chemistry undergraduate. (CS)

Describes the philosophy of a high school chemistry teacher, providing examples through classroom experiences, with emphasis on the use of demonstrations as instructional aids. Specific stoichiometry and conductometric titration demonstrations are discussed. (CS)

Explains the scaling procedure used to derive final marks awarded at the matriculation chemistry entrance examination. Also explains changes in "status" of grades for pursuing subsequent university chemistry courses. (CS)

Briefly describes a course called Environmental Chemistry offered at McNeese State University (Louisiana) that stresses the role of science in the future. (CS)

Compares two methods for ranking academic programs, the opinion poll v examination of career successes of the program's alumni. For the latter, "Who's Who in Engineering" and levels of research funding provided data. Tables display resulting data and compare rankings by the two methods for chemical engineering and civil engineering. (CS)

Provides information regarding spill control systems in chemical and biological laboratories. Various methods currently in use are described. Suggestions are made for the use of absorbents. (CS)

Discusses and compares the use of the word "reversibility" as it applies to thermodynamics, to equilibrium studies, and to kinetics. Discusses misuse of the word "irreversible" and its elimination from descriptions of chemical reactions. (CS)

Briefly reviews the history of nuclear energy, artificial transmutations, the fission process, and nuclear energetics. A comparison of magnitude is made between chemical and nuclear energy. (CS)

Relates experiences of a high school chemistry teacher that suggest various techniques to motivate and encourage students. (CS)

Describes an advanced high school course which incorporates an industrial approach into the chemistry curriculum. Presents three case studies as examples taken from the local chemistry industry--the production of copper, bromine, and plastics. (CS)

Presents an undergraduate analytical chemistry experiment that promotes an interpretation of the molecular aspects of solute partitioning, enhancing student understanding of separation science and liquid chromatography. (CS)

Describes recent developments in instrumentation for clinical chemistry in the areas of general chemistry, immunoassays, urinalysis, electrophoresis, chromatography, and trace metal analyses. (CS)

Presents data from a survey of schools, colleges, and other institutions and entering candidates for the special GCE examination using Nuffield O-level materials. Examines the effects of curriculum design on subject choice in these institutions. Reviews teacher comments on the publications associated with revision of course materials. (Author/CS)
