Presents a set of integrated experiments for the undergraduate inorganic chemistry laboratory, designed with the belief that a related set of syntheses, reactions, and characterization techniques sums to a greater learning experience than an equal number of unrelated experiments. (MLH)

Describes sources and housing of laboratory rats for use in investigating behavior. (LS)

Describes how to construct thin layer chromatography apparatus by using a sheet of glass, glass strips, epoxy resin and a chromatographic plate. (LS)

Discusses aspects that are often lacking in preservice training for high school physics teachers. Lists ten features of a preservice program that would enhance physics teaching, including laboratory-centered training, the history of physics, inquiry skills in science, and a familiarity with high school physics curriculum programs. (MLH)

Describes an experiment demonstrating genetic transformation that opens up many areas of laboratory work and discussion with students. (LS)

Describes a supplementary first-year chemistry course offered to selected students also enrolled in the regularly scheduled first-year chemistry course.

Describes current cooperative programs in chemistry, which have been lagging the development of programs in other disciplines. As of 1971, of the 68,000 students in cooperative education programs, only 428 were in chemistry; but the benefits of such a program are expected to increase the number of chemistry cooperative programs. (MLH)

Describes the insertion reaction using the insertion of carbenes into carbon-hydrogen bonds as an example. Outlines an experiment that will illustrate dihalocarbene insertions into diisopropyl ether. (GS)

Describes an activity designed to introduce concepts of randomness and standard deviation. (CP)

Describes a number of pieces of equipment for physics. Included are a pendulum, Archimedes' Principle apparatus, solar photometer, and anharmonic motion. (RH)
