Identifies specific content changes in secondary school chemistry courses since 1968 and evaluates the reform in terms of student achievement by each grade level. (AV)

Recommends that high school students be taught about interdisciplinary relationships among the sciences, specifically chemistry and physics. Explains how schools can coordinate class schedules and course content to complement learning in both sciences. (AV)

Presents four science experiments for the junior high level relating to electric switches, a chemical card game, combustion energy, and chromatography. (SL)

Safety checklists (week, term, annual) for secondary school science departments are provided. (CP)

Describes a computer simulation of reaction kinetics in atmospheric photochemistry. (SL)

Describes a nuclear and radiation chemistry course offered to second and third year students at the University of New South Wales, England. (SL)

Reports the construction and field testing of an electronic device intended to serve as a replacement for Piaget's first chemical task. Validity of the electronic task was established in testing 64 secondary school age students. Results obtained by the chemical and electronic tasks were highly correlated. (CP)

Presents a computational example of a quantum theory chemistry suitable for inclusion in an undergraduate physical chemistry course. (SL)

Reviews scientific research and research projects which have been undertaken by secondary level students. (SL)

Reviews two component systems forming so-called inclusion compounds. (SL)

Reviews determination of atomic weights. (SL)

Presents facts concerning major metals and minerals including existing reserves, existance in the human body, and amounts present in oceans. (SL)

Presents a differential thermal analysis system constructed mainly from commercially available modular units. (SL)

Surveys the interest in teaching chemistry by retracing its historical development. Head science teachers in 75 secondary schools were surveyed as to their opinions concerning this methodology. Results indicated a lack of articulation with other curricula, and less than adequate teacher background and instructional materials. (CP)

Reviews the study of molecular shapes and structures. (SL)
