The CADET Project Modification computer analysis, and both hard copy map-like images and computer tapes are available to the public. A mainframe computer program that permits an Apple microcomputer user to select a particular 40 by 40 pixel sub-scene from a Landsat computer compatible tape and download it to Apple computer diskette via telephone…

This study assessed the effectiveness of integrating logical thinking skills into a geology course designed for nonscience majors. Goals of the study were to: (1) design a unique set of materials that integrated logical skills and geological time and sequence; (2) implement these materials into the classroom instruction; and (3) test the effects…

Described is a project, at Macquarie University, designed to educate students in the retrieval and interpretation of chemical data. (PEB)

Reports an investigation designed to determine if using programmed textbook units in rather typical courses improved student test performance and enriched student interaction in class discussion. (PEB)

Discusses the teaching of an experimental, individualized, lectureless course in chemistry with emphasis on programed instruction, audiovisual presentation, computerized examinations, and tutorial methods. Concludes that the program may prove superior in teaching of certain elementary chemical concepts to underprepared students. (CC)

Discusses the offering of a Science for Poets course at the General Science Department of State University College at Buffalo, involving objectives, methods, and grouping techniques. Included are lists of problems proposed by teachers and students in the course. (CC)

Summarizes United States Environmental Protection Agency data about the fuel economy of 1973 and 1974 model year light-duty motor vehicles in a form which is suitable for use in constructing examples or problems for physics or physical science courses. (CC)

A college program in child nutrition is discussed. Coursework and activities at a day care center are described. (DT)

Describes how case studies, involving written accounts of engineering jobs as they were actually done or problems as they were actually encountered, can be effectively used to motivate engineering students. (JR)

Describes an individualized general biology course, taught at Marymount College of Kansas, that encourages students to assume responsibilty for their own learning. (JR)

Describes a project designed to increase enthusiasm among college human-ecology students for studying environmental problems. Small groups of students were asked to investigate local pollution problems by first discovering them and then filming them with a mobile videotape unit. (JR)

Discusses damages of oil tanker spillage to the marine organisms and scientists' research in oil pollution removal techniques. Included is a list of learning activities concerning the causes and effects of oil pollution and methods of solving the problem. (CC)

Discusses a student project which is intended to teach undergraduates concepts and techniques of nuclear physics, experimental methods used in particle detection, and provide experience in a functioning research environment. Included are detailed procedures for carrying out the project. (CC)

Presents some examples of using college, university, industrial, and governmental raw data to conduct physics classroom experiments and activities. Indicates that the approach has the advantages of making the student work publishable and of motivating the student to improve the quality of lab reports. (CC)
