The special problems faced by black, Mexican-American, Appalachian, and ethnic white minorities in college education, particularly in chemistry, are examined in the papers contained in this conference report. The most important problems for all groups are deficiencies in verbal and written English, mathematics, general science, and intellectual…

The subject of the content of medicinal chemical journals is briefly discussed as an aid for medicinal chemists who require information from clinical, health science, pharmaceutical science and chemical science areas to carry out their work. Some future changes in the present journal concept are considered. (Author/AB)

This book is composed of four papers prepared to illuminate the problem areas which might arise if the policies of the 1925 Geneva Protocol and other measures to limit chemical and biological weapons are ratified by the United States Senate. The papers included are: Legal Aspects of the Geneva Protocol of 1925; The Use of Herbicides in War: A…

This resource guide is designed for teachers of introductory college chemistry classes. The topics chosen represent those areas most frequently studied. For each of the 33 topics, the following are included: content errors which have appeared in textbooks, references (primarily paperback), films, teaching aids, selected lecture demonstrations, and…

Recent advances in the physical sciences, including astronomy, chemical synthesis, chemical dynamics, solid-state sciences, atomic and nuclear science, and elementary particles and high-energy physics are summarized in this report to Congress. The nature of physical science, including its increasing unity, the relationship between science and…

The "Chemistry Card Game" for teaching stoichiometry of inorganic precipitation and ionic complex reactions is described in the first article of this UNESCO newsletter. The game is played with 106 cards consisting of 19 kinds of cations, 14 kinds of anions, and one kind of molecules (NH3). Included are the instructions for making the…

This UNESCO newsletter is divided into these three sections: (1) a student chapter on the rates of chemical reactions; (2) the student laboratory guide; and (3) the teacher laboratory guide. The laboratory guides describe 14 experiments showing students the differences in chemical reactions and how the rate can be affected by temperature,…

Presented is a unit designed for curriculum infusion and which relies on the hands-on discovery method as an instructive device. The student is introduced to the theory of a functioning salt water conductivity meter. The student explores the resistance of salt water as salinity increases and he treats the data which he has gathered,…

An electronic apparatus, designed and constructed to be an equivalent of Piaget's first chemical experiment, was assessed in terms of reducing discriminatory and administration difficulties often criticized in Piagetian tasks. In this study, the chemical task and its electronic equivalent were included in a battery of five tasks and were randomly…

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…

Describes a number of undergraduate laboratory experiments that illustrate the science of alchemy as it was historically practiced. (MLH)
