Material for the first year of Energy/Structure/Life, a two-year high school program in integrated science, is contained in this learning guide. The program, a sequence of physics, chemistry, and biology, presents the physical science phase during the first year with these 13 chapters: (1) distance/time/velocity; (2) velocity/change/acceleration;…

This learning guide contains materials for the second year of Energy/Structure/ Life, a two year high school program in integrated science. The guide is programed to permit the student to proceed on his own at a self-determined pace. The two year course is a sequence of physics, chemistry, and biology with the chemical (continued from the first…

The third year of the Portland Project, a three-year secondary school curriculum in integrated science, consists of four parts, the first two of which are covered in this student guide. The reading assignments for part one, "Waves and Particles," are listed in the student guide and are to be read in the Harvard Project Physics textbook.…

Students in general chemistry courses in four colleges in New York were given the American Chemical Society-National Science Teachers Association High School Chemistry Examination, Hand's "Scale to Study Attitudes toward College Courses; the Purdue Instructor Performance Indicator," and a chemistry background questionnaire. Lectures and tutorial…

As part of its first-year activities, the Atlanta University Department of Chemistry, which started as Doctor of Arts degree program in September 1975, sponsored a conference on April 23-24, 1976 to which were invited 20 two- and four-year college faculty and administrators. The main objectives were to discuss the need and credibility of the…

This booklet presents the proceedings of an international symposium held at Madrid, Spain, September 6-7, 1975, to discuss the present state and future prospects of educational technology as it affects the teaching of chemistry. Ten papers and reports from 20 countries are included, with topics including: the potentialities of new educational…

This booklet, one of a series developed by the Frederick County Board of Education, Frederick, Maryland, provides an instruction module for an individualized or flexible approach to secondary science teaching. Subjects and activities in this series of booklets are designed to supplement a basic curriculum or to form a total curriculum, and relate…

Investigates whether chemistry laboratory skills are commonly developed in secondary schools and whether college professors and high school teachers agree that students still demonstrate these skills in first-term college chemistry labs. One hundred and four chemistry teachers and 298 college professors participated in this study. (HM)

Presents few ideas and tips on demonstrations for secondary school teachers; the concept of one part per billion, the running flame tests, models of atoms and molecules. Supplies the names of some useful high school science books. (GA)

A general discussion of sewage sterilization methods, including techniques using pH, Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Ozone, Iodine and Bromine, metal ions, and cationic surface active agents is presented. (MDR)

Describes a two-year high school chemistry course for girls that includes visits to local industries, the study of their chemical processes, and work in their laboratories. (GA)
