An apparatus is described for storing laboratory glassware in freshman organic chemistry laboratories. The glassware is mounted on pegboard using hardware gripper clips, and the pegboard is fitted in a slot down one side of the storage cupboard. (BB)

Presents 12 amendments to the second edition of Safety in Science Laboratories. Covers topics such as regular inspection of equipment, wearing safety glasses, dating stock chemicals, and safe use of chemicals. (MA)

Data from this study suggest that evaluations of long-term accumulations of students' laboratory analyses should be standard procedure to detect deviations from the accepted true assays. Efforts are recommended to determine the cause of the error and the implications or grading procedures reconsidered. (Author/MA)

An engineering hardware display, slide-tape show, selected readings, and tests are used to help students become familiar with values, fitting, tools, and instruments. Sample exam questions and a list of hardware are given. (BB)

Reviews the use of a programmable hand-held calculator for evaluating a student's performance on a quantitative laboratory experiment. (SL)

Describes a freshman level physics laboratory course which includes elements of mathematical statistics. (SL)

Describes physics laboratory equipment including: circuit improvements for an electronic counter-timer, a commercial counter-timer-frequency meter, and a device for demonstrating resonating air columns. (SL)

Describes a class of ion-selective electrodes that use a solid-state sensing membrane. These are suitable for student activities. (SL)

Presents a method of teaching advanced physics laboratories which simulates research conditions and requires students to make researchlike decisions. (SL)

Describes the inception, use, and evaluation of a demonstration laboratory designed to enable first-year university students to observe physical phenomena that they did not observe in the secondary school. (Author/SL)

Discusses the improvement of safety and health conditions in academic chemistry laboratories. Included are 14 recommendations for improving laboratory safety. (SL)

Argues that using outdoor classrooms to examine environmental studies will help heighten the student's awareness of the importance of protecting our environment. Describes how such a land laboratory could be developed. (RKM)

Described is a series of five related microcomputer-based laboratory analysis programs that are used by students in a college calculus-based physics course. With minor modifications these programs, which are written in BASIC, could be used in most beginning undergraduate laboratory science courses. (RH)

Offers suggestions and outlines ten easy steps for assuring a safer science classroom environment. Includes such recommendations as: scheduling a safety inspection; displaying safety posters; enforcing a laboratory dress code; establishing a safety reference library; and updating safety report forms and procedures. (ML)

Examines factors affecting attitudes toward laboratory chemistry. Subjects (N=1638) were grade 11 chemistry students in 78 schools in rural, suburban, and urban Oyo State, Nigeria. Data indicate that students' attitudes toward chemistry as a subject is the most important determinant of the attitude toward the laboratory. (JM)
