Studies in field biology should be encouraged and given their right place in curricula. (PS)

The program is designed for students of high ability and motivation and applicants from all over the country who meet university qualifications may receive up to six semester hours of college credit at costs which vary depending upon the program selected and the scholarships available. (DF)

Contrasts to the United States system of undergraduate education are offered to provide insight and suggestions for curricula modification. (DF)

Student views regarding physics classes are reported concerning teacher control, student role, and teaching strategies in the classroom. Student attitudes toward science were also presented. (See SE 508 317 for Part I of this article.) (DF)

A large scale exchange is suggested of successful pieces of written instructions and written material for students. Physics teachers should choose materials which are capable of direct assimulation by the pupils after very minor alterations and additions to suit each individual and locality. (DF)

Describes the use of the pinhole camera as an aid for teaching about physical optics and optical instruments. (CP)

Students who undertook field studies of soil before the related laboratory work performed better on a posttest than students using the opposite sequence. (AL)

Describes techniques for studying historic changes in climate by analysis of pollen preserved in peat bogs. Illustrates the methodology and data analysis techniques by reference to results from English research. (AL)

The Science Support Scale is not an appropriate instrument for measuring attitudinal changes in high school biology students. Factor analysis indicates that student interpretation of the items does not correspond to the theoretical subtest structure of the scale. (AL)

Two brief articles describing a chemistry course for grade 8 students in mixed-ability classes and a biology course devoted to the study of man in grade 9 in different English schools are illustrated by examples of course activities and examination questions. (AL)

The contributions of Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, Chemical Education Materials Study, and the Physical Science Study Committee courses to the understanding of science among Israeli students are compared. Changes in science process inventory scores in concurrent courses in grades 9-12 are examined. Common misunderstandings about the nature…
