Discusses the rules of an academic game which helps students learn the reaction sequences in organic and synthetic chemistry. (CC)

Presents five reasons for the use of a student opinion poll in science courses. Included are quantitative analyses of survey results obtained from science and nonscience majors and an example of the 1971-72 questionnaire. (CC)

Discusses the phenomenon of formation of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes from dying stars for the purpose of providing college teachers with materials usable in the introductory physics course. (CC)

Presents sixteen questions designed to measure the level of scientific and historical knowledge that professors, researchers, and students possess in the area of physics and the arms race. (CC)

Discusses the use of a board game, Reversi, in a class of nonphysics majors to explain the investigative techniques of physics by analogy. (CC)

Describes the experimental procedures for isolating fungi and demonstrating their tolerance of fungicides such as creosote and organic mercury. (JR)

Discusses the importance of microorganisms in chemical pollution and pollution abatement. Selected chemical pollutants are chosen to illustrate that microorganisms synthesize hazardous substances from reasonably innocuous precursors, while others act as excellent environmental decontaminating agents by removing undesirable natural and synthetic…

Discusses the unusually aggressive Brazilian honeybee, which exhibits many of the attributes of its African antecedants. Describes its abundance and distribution, behaviorial characteristics, future spread, and the potential impact of the Brazilian bee in North America. (JR)

Presents theoretical fundamentals of the experiment on the multiple reflection of helium-neon laser beams from a black-surfaced mirror. Further applications to student projects are indicated. (CC)

Discusses the implementation of student projects at the university of York, including evaluation techniques and economic and technological aspects covered in project work. Indicates the presence of two types of research activities: the project related to staff members' work and that not related to work generally undertaken in the department. (CC)

Discusses the definition and characteristics of student projects conducted in polytechnics, including evaluation techniques and a description of possible topics. Indicates that the project method is also used in course work leading to the Higher National Certificate and the Graduate Membership of the Royal Institute of Chemistry. (CC)

Discusses two types of historical projects conducted by O-level pupils at Clifton College: studies of famous chemists and projects on the development of industrial chemicals. Indicates that a project in the history of chemistry is characterized by its practical and philosophical approach to chemistry study. (CC)
