This monograph was written for the Conference on the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. It is intended for college students who are not preparing to become professional physicists. The monograph contains three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the law of inertia for objects at rest and in…

Brief, motivating television programs, lectures, calculation exercises, and laboratory experiments were integrated to teach a course in applied electronics at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm). The greater part of the learning work was done in the form of independent study checked by diagnostic tests. These tests proved to have an…

This paper describes a laboratory experiment which was a replication and extension of an earlier study, both of which are part of an effort to synthesize the findings of two somewhat different approaches to the study of interpersonal attraction. The first of these approaches is a secondary reinforcement interpretation and in general assumes a…

Combines coordinate systems, planetary positions, use of the celestial globe, and synodic period in a graphing exercise. Information is given to duplicate an occurrence of 1940 in which five naked eye planets were simultaneously visible. (CP)

Presents five demonstrations for use in chemistry classes. Materials needed, procedures, and explanations are included. (RH)

Describes medieval alchemical experiments that can be reenacted in the undergraduate laboratory. (MLH)

Describes a biochemistry experiment involving the kinetics of passive diffusion of solutes across artificial membranes formed by dispersing phospholipids in aqueous medium. (MLH)

Describes experiments which could be performed on an 1860 rotating table apparatus. (CP)

Describes an undergraduate kinetics experiment, including advantages of this particular system, sources of error, and expected results. (MLH)

Discusses the laboratory use of a titration end-point detection that relies on a temperature change rather than a color change. (MLH)

Details a laboratory experiment designed to extend the calcium PVC matrix membrane ion-selective electrode studies to complex formation equilibria. (Author/MA)

Describes a laboratory procedure to obtain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) values for common organic and inorganic groups. (CP)

The experiment described was developed for the third-year course in inorganic and analytical pharmaceutical chemistry to provide students with "hands-on" experience with high pressure liquid chromatography. Assay procedures are given along with experimental parameters and student results. (LBH)
