Describes a simple digital waveform synthesizer, a chronograph for measuring projectile velocities, and a versatile beam splitter for holographers. (MLH)

Described are the events and results of the Physics Olympics held in February, 1976, at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Included are highlights of various events. (SL)

Presented is a method utilizing partial derivatives for determining the energy saved per dollar by substituting bicycling for driving a car while not reducing jobs dependent upon the auto industry. (SL)

Discusses the content and success of an introductory general-studies physics course that emphasizes the theory and operation of hi-fidelity audio equipment. The course avoids traditional abstract mathematics and makes frequent use of classroom demonstrations and laboratory experiments. (MLH)

Reported is a summary of the responses of 363 college science and engineering students to a questionnaire designed to determine their attitude towards physics. The majority of students found physics moderately interesting. (SL)

Presented is the second of a two-part article describing the content of secondary level physics courses taught in Hungarian schools. (SL)

Presented are two lectures on the social responsibility of physicists and physics teachers given at the English Royal Institution on April 29, 1976, by Mr. M. F. D. Young and Mr. R. Schofield. (SL)

Describes a "guided design" instructional method utilized to introduce introductory physics students to decision-making processes and the role such processes play in physics. Guided design involves students in making decisions one step at a time in the solution of an open-ended problem, and is applicable to other disciplines. (SL)

Discusses a project in which college students equipped a house with three different types of solar energy collectors and two vertical axis windmills. (MLH)

Outlines an approach for helping student teams assign roles to each participant for doing portions of the experiment and writing the report. Discusses teaching of technical report writing as outlined in the Style Manual of the American Institute of Physics. (MLH)

Describes a demonstration in which shadowgraphs display objects passing through thermally stratified water having a refractive index that varies with height. (MLH)

Six articles review current understanding and research in solar physics. Included are topics on sunspots, the corona, solar flares, solar waves, and solar-energy generation. Also included is a resume of physical data relating to the sun. (SL)

Discussed are the social responsibilities of scientists in communicating the social consequences of their actions and in the resolution of perceived technical deficiencies. The debate over nuclear waste disposal is utilized to illustrate the contentions presented. (SL)

Readings from a nuclear roof moisture meter are fed into a computer. A roof moisture contour map is produced indicating the relative moisture present in flat roofs. (Author/MLF)

Describes one program each for performing Fourier analysis and synthesis with a Hewlett-Packard HP-25 calculator. (MLH)
