Presents a report of the mathematical requirements in physics and chemistry courses as these relate to studying biology at various levels. (PEB)

Argues against testing for genetic differences between the races with respect to IQ, examines the views of Shockley, and extensively rebuts the writings of Jensen on this controversy. (BR)

Describes an innovative campus wide program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute for undergraduate education. It is individually structured, student centered, project oriented and designed to produce a professional who works creatively with specialists from other disciplines and who has a wide awareness of the larger world of humanity. (BR)

Describes laboratory exercises with chickens selecting their food from dyed and natural corn kernels as a method of demonstrating natural selection. The procedure is based on the fact that organisms that blend into their surroundings escape predation. (BR)

Information was requested on course goals, lesson goals, committee goals, instructional methods, question types and purposes, question-objective correlation, class assignments, textbooks, and supplemental teaching materials. (GS)

Describes the use of storage oscilloscopes in five physics experiments, in lecture demonstrations, and in improved measurement techniques. (GS)

Discusses a computer program that has been used in environmental chemistry courses as an example of modelling as a vehicle for teaching chemical dynamics, and as a demonstration of some of the factors which affect the production of smog. (Author/GS)

Traditionally, the Doppler effect for sound is introduced in high school and college physics courses. Students calculate the perceived frequency for several scenarios relating a stationary or moving observer and a stationary or moving sound source. These calculations assume a constant velocity of the observer and/or source. Although seldom…

Describes an environmental studies program designed to have students study units with an interdisciplinary approach. Outlines the four year program. (BR)

Describes backgrounds of geophysics graduates that are desired for employment by industry. Also listed are areas in which industry could help universities concerning the development of programs to meet the future manpower needs in industry. (BR)

Reports on the enrollment of women and minority students in geoscience programs as well as the total student enrollment in undergraduate and graduate geoscience programs in both the United States and Canada. (BR)
