Describes an organic chemistry laboratory exercise which uses thermochromic compounds to study the thermodynamic effect of temperature on chemical equilbrium. (SL)

Suggests a series of science activities in botany for the elementary school classroom. Contains suggestions on the care and propagation of the coleus plant. (CP)

Describes the apparatus and procedures for conducting a simple speed of light experiment in an average laboratory using a laser source, a rotating mirror, and an oscilloscope. (SL)

Explains the theory and laboratory construction procedures of a positive photoresist. (CP)

Describes a laboratory procedure which does not demand sophisticated equipment. (CP)

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are described and three classroom experiments are given, one to prove the, low power requirements and efficiency of LEDs, an LED on-off detector circuit, and the third an LED photoelectric smoke detector. (BB)

Points to research findings that have implications for the staffing and administration of college-level study skills centers. (GW)

By measuring certain transport and degradation properties of chemicals one can establish priorities for the routes and likely points of residence of these materials in the environment. Outlined are transport and degradation tests. (Author/MA)

Described are methods for making Cartesian divers for explaining atomic models utilizing a city planning analogy, a game for reviewing subject matter, the construction of a cell model, an improved diffusion demonstration, and uses of inexpensive glass cutters. (SL)

Describes a research project examining non-professional knowledge of and attitudes to sensitivity training groups. A questionnaire was distributed to college students, police officers and members of a group dynamics class. Results indicate that all three groups had fairly positive attitudes towards sensitivity training. (NG)

A laboratory experiment is described which illustrates such concepts as resonance, inductive, steric, and solvation effects in a beginning organic chemistry course. This experiment is designed to encourage students to predict results and interpret their findings. (MR)

In this section, brief contributed articles on a variety of secondary school science topics appear. (CP)

Describes a demonstration experiment illustrating rotation of grains process of metamorphic rock formation utilizing clear gelatin blocks. (SL)

Describes an apparatus for demonstrating the transmission line propagation and radiation of electromagnetic waves in the 160-170 MHZ v.h.f. region. (SL)

Describes a low cost potentiostat/coulometer which can maintain an eletroylsis current of up to 100 MA at cell voltages as high as 100V. (Author/SL)
