Describes the building design and interior laboratory features of the science center at Australia's Sturt C. A. E., an institution of higher learning. Photographs are included. (MLH)

Discusses how to use the principles of operating electric cars to illustrate such concepts as energy conservation, electricity, magnetism, mechanics, heat, and sound. (MLH)

Discusses an instructional method for analyzing energy shortage problems in relation to the environment. (MLH)

Briefly describes eleven standardized exams, covering both college and secondary levels, that have been released by the Examinations Committee of the American Chemistry Society. Also announces new graduate level placement exams in analytical, organic, and physical chemistry. (MLH)

Reviews proceedings of the Conference on Health and Science Education in American Indian Post-Secondary Institutions. Representatives from 21 Indian institutions stressed institutional needs of funding for basic science facilities, obtaining faculty for health, science and math programs, and programming based on the needs of the Indian community.…

Describes how to construct a moving reference frame for the quantitative measurement of the Coriolis effect. (MLH)

Presents a system of introducing students to the study of ecology, using a hierarchical organization of organisms into individuals, populations and communities; and using three phases of the environment--space, energy and matter. Discussed is the usefulness of a matrix system when relationships between ecological subheadings are explained. (CS)

Discusses a photograph of an unusual combination of lunar halos: the 22-degree refraction halo, the circumscribed halo, and a reflection halo. Deduces the form and orientations of the ice crystals responsible for the observed halo features. (MLH)

Demonstrates how to find some canonical transformations without solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Constructs the transformations from the harmonic oscillator to the free particle and uses these as examples of transformations that cannot be maintained when going from classical to quantum systems. (MLH)

Summarizes a study based on a questionnaire addressed to chemists employed in industry to determine the types of duties performed by individuals with the master's degree as their highest degree. Surveyed were their perceptions of the adequacy of their training, and the need or value of the degree in their career. (MLH)

Demonstrates that the number of kilometers of highway in the U.S. tends to grow exponentially and discusses what can be done to modify this growth. (MLH)

Describes an apparatus that can be used to prepare air-sensitive or water-sensitive samples for melting point determinations. (MLH)

Describes and evaluates introductory physics homework problems done in conjunction with student-performed demonstrations. Discusses them within a process approach to instruction consistent with Piaget's developmental theory. (MLH)

Describes an interactive computer-assisted linear least-squares curve-fitting program that allows students to generate basic tables, plots, and fits to their data. (MLH)

Describes the topics covered and methods used in a liberal arts astronomy course on photographing the night sky. (MLH)
