Presents results of a survey given to college students concerning the use of a planetarium in courses and their decisions to take the courses. (CP)

Describes a course, taught in Jamaica, for prospective high school physics teachers that stresses concepts which are difficult to teach and easily misunderstood by students. Also stresses preparing high school students to take national exams and teaching physics in poorly equipped laboratories. (MLH)

Describes graduate training geared specifically to prepare students for work in industry. Reports on schools offering such a program, and outlines the major characteristics of each school's curriculum. (GS)

Describes a general chemistry level kinetics experiment requiring three 3-hour laboratory periods. Data analyses can be accomplished with graphical techniques or a non-linear least squares computer program. (MLH)

Describes a computer simulation experiment in which physical chemistry students can determine all of the kinetic parameters of a reaction, such as order of the reaction with respect to each reagent, forward and reverse rate constants for the overall reaction, and forward and reverse activation energies. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which general and physical chemistry students can determine the heat of vaporization of a volatile substance from experimental laboratory data using timesharing techniques. (MLH)

Describes an organic chemistry experiment in which seven possible mechanisms for the isomerization reaction are tested with simple sense observations and melting point determinations. (MLH)

Describes the process for determination of the constants from data obtained with a hydrogen-deuterium light source and Ebert plane grating spectrograph. (Author/CP)

Describes an undergraduate chemistry laboratory course designed to acquaint the students with the major laboratory instruments, the chemical literature, and methods for writing effective laboratory reports. (MLH)

Describes a course which used a student project approach and was designed to replace traditional instrumental analysis. Presents the criteria used for project selection and gives examples of student projects in 1974. (GS)

Describes the experimental apparatus and method for the study of magnetic vector potential (MVP). Includes a discussion of inherent errors in the calculations involved, precision of the results, and further applications of MVP. (GS)

Describes the application of the Keller Plan to an introductory physics course. Presents the organization of the course, faculty and student reaction to the course, and an assessment of the course on the basis of student grade distribution. (GS)
