A retired judge for chemistry teacher awards discusses some aspects of current chemical education. (MLH)

Provides an introduction of this individualized, self-pacing instructional approach. The philosophy, mechanics, and pertinent information concerning application in the classroom are discussed. (DF)

Describes a course in introductory chemistry including a syllabus, grading procedures, and evaluation. (DF)

Utilization of simple experiments to illustrate a few aspects of physics in which sampling plays a crucial role. (DF)

The art of deriving information about an object from the radiation it scatters was once limited to visible light. Now due to new techniques, much of the modern physical science research utilizes radiation scattering. (DF)

Although many experiments to detect gravity waves are underway, and others are planned, so far none of them has reproduced Joseph Weber's results, first reported in 1967. (Author/DF)

Discusses a model for explaining the spread of human population explosion on North American continent since its discovery 12,000 years ago. The model may help to map the spread of Homo sapiens throughout the New World by using the extinction chronology of the Pleistocene megafauna. (Author/PS)

Describes a large introductory physics course, that follows an individual mode without any class meetings, is laboratory centered and multilevel. After finishing a subtopic the student reports to his faculty examiner to take a written-oral proficiency exam. (DF)

Second law of thermodynamics is described in several ways. Explanations of the concepts of energy and entropy are provided. (PS)

Describes a computer program used at a genetic stock center to locate particular strains of bacteria. The program can match up to 30 strain descriptions requested by a researcher with the records on file. Uses of this particular program can be made in many fields. (PS)
