Discusses the use of a modified air table to conduct laboratory experiments which eschews research-oriented lab experience and concentrates on concepts learned in classroom. Includes a description of apparatus construction, sample instruction sheets, and a list of laboratory concepts with their relationships to classroom materials. (CC)

A laboratory experiment is described which presents some molecular parameters of iodine molecule by studying iodine spectrum. Points out this experiment can be conducted by sixth form students in high school laboratories. (PS)

Outlines an optics course, designed for science and nonscience majors, which emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematics. Indicates that the new curriculum permits liberal arts students to learn physics as well as the relationship of physics to society. (CC)

Outlines a one-semester course on Physics of the Environment'' which is designed for physics and nonphysics majors with a one-semester physics prerequisite. Indicates that the students are content to learn about the environment thoroughly rather than a course concentrating on pollution. (CC)

Includes ten topics relating to laboratory activities, experimental procedures, and teaching materials suitable for secondary school physics classes. (JR)

The question of whether modern experiments are limited by the uncertainty principle or by the instruments used to perform the experiments is discussed. Several key experiments show that the instruments limit our knowledge and the principle remains of strictly academic concern. (DF)

An independent study project is launched for eighth graders which allows students to perform various activities including laboratory experiments, laboratory search, and interpretation of data. Program is well received by people involved. (PS)
