Describes an advanced laboratory experiment that introduces two important reactions in organophosphorous chemistry, the Arbuzov and the Atherton-Todd reactions. (CS)

Provides information concerning self-acceleration and self-inhibition phenomena and a description of an experiment in alkane pyrolysis that exemplifies these phenomena. (CS)

Describes an experiment used to study dielectric properties of materials. Values of the dielectric loss tangent can be determined at low frequencies from Lissajous figures formed on an oscilloscope. Some mineral rock specimens show Debye-type relaxation peaks at frequencies in the region of 1 to 500 Hz. (Author/DS)

Reviews the historical development of thermometry and the origins of the Fahrenheit and Celsius temberature scales. (CS)

Describes a self-teaching instructional package on color videocassettes, supplemented with audio descriptions, prepared from original super-8mm cinephotomicrographs for use in optical crystallography courses. Production techniques are also reviewed. (Author/JN)

Presents a practical problem to students in a junior-level thermodynamics course in which a human body regulates its own internal temperature. This problem can be utilized as well (with modification) in an introductory physics course for life science majors. (HM)

Presents computer assisted instruction (CAI) applications involving prelab simulations of organic chemistry experiments in advance of performing the actual experiments. Tables present the PLATO lessons used in the laboratory; and a comparison of average times for students to complete laboratories with and without the PLATO system. (CS)

Describes an undergraduate physics experiment for studying Curie temperature and Curie constant of a ferromagnetic material. The exchange field (Weiss field) has been estimated by using these parameters. (HM)

Describes the Science in Social Context (SISCON) project. The use of the SISCON in the British colleges, polytechnics and secondary schools and a list of the units, of the course are included. (HM)

Presents a review prepared by the British Meteorological Society which covers 51 films for use in teaching meteorology in higher education or secondary schools. (HM)

Discusses some basic physical ideas about light scattering and describes a simple Raman spectrometer, a single prism monochromator and a multiplier detector. This discussion is intended for British undergraduate physics students. (HM)

Describes a course addressing the association between geology and information science. Outlines the course content and organization and provides examples of questions supplied to students to introduce them to various information search strategies. (GS)

Presents a self-instructional package for medical students and graduate students and is intended to communicate the basics of ionic equilibria in a lecture format. The package deals with osmotic aspects of the Gibbs-Donnan Equilibrium and with ionic equilibria. (Author/SA)

Discusses reasons for including differential equations in the required course of study for engineering technology (ET) students. Briefly describes mathematics requirements of the ET Division of the School of Engineering at the University of Dayton. Provides an outline of their differential equations course for ET students. (CS)

Describes a chemistry course for liberal education college students, characterized by team teaching and application of knowledge to present problems and issues. (CS)
