Experimental techniques are taught in a laboratory course designed with some student options available. Eight experiments which use vacuum systems, radiation sources, dispersion and detection systems are outlined. A course outline and time table are given. The final examination is described as 30 minutes of individual practical work and dialogue…

This document, as a supplement to the final report of the Orthopaedic Training Study, presents a discussion of the rationale behind the implementation of a laboratory course in psychomotor skills development for medical students. Medical educators examined resident training in terms of 3 components of cognitive elements of learning: cognitive,…

This document, as a supplement to the final report of the Orthopaedic Training Study, contains the documents considered to be important in providing the background for the study. The materials are organized into four major areas: initial correspondence, instrumentation, special reports, and psychomotor skills. See also HE 003 275 and HE 003 276.…

This article discusses the Physical Fitness Laboratory at North Carolina State University. (RC)

Describes a system of laboratory instruction in which students attend laboratory when their schedules permit, and all laboratory sections, regardless of course, are overseen by one laboratory instructor. (MLH)

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

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

Recommendations are made to ensure that academic laboratories are safe and meet safety standards, instruction and information in laboratory safety are widely available, and that students, teachers, and academic research chemists give high priority to safety and health in their laboratories. (author/BB)

This method uses the cathodic deposition of silver from a cyanide solution in a non-partition cell with stainless steel electrodes. (BB)

Describes Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) proposed guidelines for laboratories using chemical carcinogens. The guidelines are designed to provide protection for laboratory workers and their environment from exposure to all types of carcinogenic agents. (GA)

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

A photoelectric on-point detector for Winkler oxygen titrations is described. (MR)

Describes the operating characteristics and cost of chart recorders available in Great Britain. (SL)

Provides contributed physics activities and laboratory techniques. (CP)

The design of vocational laboratories must reflect four major design criteria: (1) work flow and activity relationships; (2) equipment size and orientation requirements; (3) mechanical system requirements; and (4) requirements related to supervision, safety, and control. (Author)
