In this third volume of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) series on "New Trends in Chemistry Teaching," a total of 29 papers originally published during the period from 1969 to 1971 in leading chemistry-teaching periodicals of the world is compiled for the purpose of promoting information exchange. The…

A complete organic gardening cycle--from soil composition to harvesting--can be conducted using the 14 activities suggested in this teacher's guide. Background information, questions for discussion, and related activities are presented for each step in the process. The activities, useful for elementary grade students, are titled: Starting the…

The United States Training and Employment Service General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB), first published in 1947, has been included in a continuing program of research to validate the tests against success in many different occupations. The GATB consists of 12 tests which measure nine aptitudes: General Learning Ability; Verbal Aptitude; Numerical…

The contents of this proceedings are: An experimental text-access system; Computer aided input of graphic information by keyboarding under visual control of display as applied to chemical structures; Packet switching network; Phototransmission and video storage; Planning and development of computer output on microfilm for a commercial application.…

Interdisciplinary teaching resources for environmental studies at all educational levels are combined in this set of materials. Items include: (1) teaching aids for science, health, and nature study entitled: (a) "Insects--Here to Help You and the Environment," an 18-minute color filmstrip, cassette sound track and accompanying teacher's guide for…

The PLATO IV system of computer-based education developed at the University of Illinois is discussed. A brief description of the PLATO system operation is given, and lesson examples are provided for the areas of biology, geometry, chemistry, and physics. Basic problems in the field of computer-based education are discussed, along with possible…

Students investigated the salinity of tide pools at different levels in the intertidal zone. Data are analyzed collectively. Students graphed and discussed data. Included are suggestions for evaluation and further study. (Author)

In this publication, issued twice per year, four major topics are discussed: (1) chemistry course content, including chemistry for nonscience students and nurses; (2) using media in chemistry, such as behavioral objectives and audio-tutorial aids; (3) chemical technology, with emphasis on the Chemical Technology Curriculum Project (Chem TeC); and…

In 1975, the Montana Board of Regents charged the Commissioner of Higher Education with reviewing the five Ph.D. programs in the state that are offered at more than one campus: microbiology, botany, zoology, chemistry, and mathematics. Teams from other universities reviewed the programs and submitted reports, with recommendations. The…

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…

Videotapes were taken of segments of freshman chemistry recitations taught by graduate students and analyzed using interaction analysis. A person skilled in teaching methods used the tapes to help the graduate students improve their teaching techniques. (MLH)

This freshman chemistry lab relates stoichiometric problems to real situations. It requires students to measure the Fe impurity in reagent grade calcium chloride. (BB)

Investigates the effectiveness of guided inquiry laboratories for the first semester general chemistry course for science majors at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma. The focus is on three skills: data interpretation, hypothesis formation and the experimental testing of hypotheses. (HM)

In one option for this project, the rotation-vibration infrared spectra of a number of gaseous diatomic molecules were recorded, from which the fundamental vibrational wavenumber, the force constant, the rotation-vibration interaction constant, the equilibrium rotational constant, and the equilibrium internuclear distance were determined.…

This course uses stability as a central theme around which to organize a wide range of reactor concerns. This approach brings together the subject matter of catalyst particles with that of well-stirred vessels and tubular reactor geometry. (Author/BB)
