A remedial self-study course in physics has been successfully developed at Nottingham University through repeated evaluations and modifications in such areas as testing and course organization. The development of a self-instructional center, and the use of film and videotape packages, have also been successful. (JMD)

Describes a physics course where students visit industrial and government scientific research laboratories. The aim is to familiarize the students with research tools available, and to make them understand the potentials, limitations, the functioning principles, and the design features of the instruments. (GA)

Explains a demonstration that shows the additive nature of light using three overhead projectors. (GA)

Compares the Ausubelian approach and the traditional one to the content organization of an introductory course in electromagnetism. States the differences between these approaches in terms of the student's ability to apply, relate, and differentiate electromagnetic concepts. (GA)

Describes in detail the construction of an improved version of Hero's engine that is easy to operate and has a short response time. (GA)

Presents fifteen selected physics notes which could be used in school physics courses. Each includes the name of the author and a description of activities suggested. (HM)

The use of chemical properties of metals and water via outer electron behavior models for instruction in science is presented. (MDR)

The modular degree program in physics at Oxford Polytechnic is described. This program allows for a combination of physics with other undergraduate study areas. (MDR)

A variety of topics in physics are covered by these contributed teaching and laboratory equipment suggestions. (CP)

Provides detailed directions for five secondary level science activities in the construction and testing of a solar energy collector system. (SL)

Describes a number of class exercises utilized to aid student understanding of the particle theory of matter. (SL)

Discusses the status and problems of physics education in the preuniversity schools (grades 7-12) in The Netherlands. (HM)

Describes a community interest short course in physics developed to increase awareness of the methods and principles of science. (SL)

Describes the Project Physics curriculum, including its origins, content and structure, current level of use, and philosophy of its approach. (MLH)

A description is given of a three credit-hour course entitled Radiation and the Environment. The course syllabus along with descriptions and criticisms of the course texts, are included. Also, some quotes from student's papers are presented indicating attitudes toward nuclear energy at the end of the course. (MR)
