Describes the errors in the sugar-cube experiment related to radioactivity as described in Project Physics course. The discussion considers some of the steps overlooked in the experiment and generalizes the theory beyond the sugar-cube stage. (PS)

Describes apparatus which can be constructed to allow students to experiment and collect data for understanding various aspects of simple motion of objects. Detailed instructions are given. (PS)

Describes an experiment designed to expose the student to the classical techniques of organic dye synthesis and introduce him to a variety of modern scientific knowledge and exotic physical phenomena which he might not encounter otherwise. (Author/DF)

Describes use of laboratory techniques for systematic study of river pollution. Detailed instructions are included. (PS)

Exercises are developed which demonstrate the versatility of modern spectroscopic methods and the variety of structural information which can be obtained. (DF)

A teaching aid is described for exercises in plant transpiration and general external morphology which is felt to be a good resource for the teaching of concepts relating to structure and function; in addition it is inexpensive and easily obtainable. (DF)

Revised version of a paper presented at the 79th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Atlantic City, N.J., April 21-24, 1970; research supported in part by the Science Research Council (U.K.) and by the National Institutes of Health. (RS)

The author believes that one of the best ways of educating the student of contemporary and future technology is to use modern devices, instruments, and techniques in an up-to-date college laboratory. Experiments which motivate and which are of interest to the student, the professor, and industry should be used extensively. (Author/TS)
