This guide contains Parts III and IV of the teacher's guide to the first year of the three-year integrated biology, chemistry, and physics courses being prepared by the Portland Project Committee. It continues the integration of material from the science course improvement projects with that specially prepared for the course by the committee. Part…

This resource guide contains practical suggestions for teaching of Grade 8 science to the pupils in the Career Guidance Program. The Career Guidance Program was developed for students who are over-age, frustrated, retarded in the school subject, and indifferent to education. The selection and organization of the material parallels the regular…

The 13 papers collected here were presented at the Workshop on Data Documentation held at Reisenburg Castle, Federal Republic of Germany, in July 1975. This workshop was a first attempt to identify some of the problems in the field of data documentation, formulate them, and solve them as far as possible. The subject was approached from four…

The integration of library instruction within established courses offered by academic departments at the State University College at Potsdam is discussed. A report of the year's activities, which are funded by a grant from the Council on Library Resources, is followed by the library director's assessment of staff skills required for program…

Analysis of data, collected by the Minnesota Research and Evaluation Project during 1972, on high school biology, chemistry, and physics classes from 12 states in 3 regions of the United States showed no association between class size and student attitude toward science. Potential effects of teachers' attitudes toward science and students'…

The two-year curriculum in chemical technology presented in the document is designed to prepare high school graduates for technical positions in the chemical industry. Course outlines are given for general chemistry, chemical calculations, quantitative analysis, environmental chemistry, organic chemistry 1 and 2, instrumental analysis, and…

In continuation of the "Cumulated UDC Supplement - 1964" published by the International Federation for Documentation, this document provides a cumulative supplement to the Universal Decimal Classification for 1965-1975. This fourth of a five volume series lists new classification subdivisions added to the system in the following subject areas: (1)…

In order to reduce the 35-40% dropout/failure rate in chemistry classes at the Perkinston Campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College, this study sought predictors which would provide early identification of students in need of special or additional help. Using regression analysis, data accumulated from the achievement records of students over…

This publication was produced as a teaching tool for college chemistry. The book is a text for a computer-based unit on the chemistry of acid-base titrations, and is designed for use with FORTRAN or BASIC computer systems, and with a programmable electronic calculator, in a variety of educational settings. The text attempts to present computer…

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Awards Program for achievement in science teaching seeks to identify and recognize outstanding achievements in science education from preschool through college. Specifically, its purpose is to encourage the development of creative ideas, techniques, and materials that will increase the effectiveness…

The British Association for Commercial and Industrial Education has included in its register of annotated programed instructional materials: programs available in the United Kingdom; programs dealing with industrial and commercial training and related further education; and information as supplied by the authors or producers of programs. The areas…

The verbal interaction of science inquiries in homogeneous and heterogeneous small groups was investigated in this study involving 106 students of chemistry from two schools in a large urban district. Films depicting chemical phenomena were presented. Students were then divided into small groups and asked to generate test hypotheses to explain the…

Research related students' orientation toward college and college majors to their attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and their performance in an organic chemistry course using CAI. Major findings were that: 1) students majoring in applied fields manifested more favorable attitudes toward both organic chemistry and CAI, than did…

As a set of seven Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) for individualized instruction in chemistry, the units cover the unit system, matter, energy, atomic structures, chemical formulas, physical states of matter, solutions and suspensions, ionization, acids, bases, and salts. Each unit contains a rationale for the material; a list of behavioral…

As a set of seven Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) for individualized instruction in chemistry, the units cover problems in stoichiometry, energy levels, chemical bonding, matter and its forms, electrochemical processes, chemical kinetics and equilibrium, metals, and non-metals. Each unit contains a rationale for the material; a list of…
