Chromatographic techniques are used in conjunction with a Parr oxygen combustion bomb to determine sulfur in fuel oils. Experimental procedures and results are discussed including an emphasis on safety considerations. (SK)

Differentiates between environmental specialists and generalists and identifies the latter as the true environmental professionals. Suggests recommendations to solve problems related to the education and professional recognition of both. (DC)

Addressed to readers who know nothing of quantum theory, a hypothetical device containing some black boxes is described and relevant features of the device's behavior are presented. The conundrum posed by the existence of such a device is pointed out. An appendix explains what is in the black boxes. (SK)

Examines the financial problems universities are encountering because of declining federal funds. Describes industry's role in the funding of university research. (DS)

Presented is one of a series of articles designed to help science teachers keep current on ideas in specific areas in biology. Contained is information on how plants use light for growth, seed germination, and flowering. (PB)

Ways in which the concept of oxidation-reduction has been treated in the current popular textbooks of general college chemistry are discussed. (HM)

Presented is a justification for inorganic chemistry in general chemistry courses. (HM)

The concept of stereochemical nonequivalence (heterotopicity) of apparently identical ligands, or of apparently identical faces, is discussed. (HM)

Describes how instructional television has been used in the teaching of chemistry. The future for using video materials in chemistry instruction is also discussed. (HM)

Provided is a review of how values education has been defined, the three general categories of methods used to teach values education (values clarification, values analysis method, and Kohlberg "moral development" theory), and applications to the biology classroom in textbook selection and topic inclusion. (CS)

Described is a science education program at Loyola University, Chicago designed for nonscience majors. Discussed are rationale for course offerings and course content. Emphasized is the need to reveal the nature of science and methods by which information is gained and theories formulated, rather than science content alone. (CS)

Based on the inference that a teaching strategy that facilitates students' cognitive development toward Piagetian formal operational thought patterns will also increase scholastic performance in introductory genetics, a self-study guide was developed, implemented and tested to facilitate a student's ability to apply formal operational thought…

Describes experiments in which inexpensive or standard laboratory equipment is used to measure several macroscopic magnetic properties of thin rare earth garnet films used in the manufacture of magnetic bubble devices. (Author/CS)

Describes "chemometrics" courses which focus on statistical and mathematical approaches for interpreting complex chemical data. (SK)

Describes a computer program for the preparation of posters and overhead transparencies on the large format (11x17 in.) Hewlett Packard 9872A digital plotter. (SK)
