Presented are techniques, methods, and ideologies from a chemistry teacher in a small county high school in Florida. Ways in which chemistry has been individualized are discussed. (CS)

Proposes a format for submitting 50-minute experiments suitable for high school beginning chemistry classes to this journal for a new feature section. (CS)

Explains three games played with Chem-Deck, a card game which gives students practice in forming chemical compounds by familiarizing them with the charges of various ions. Effectiveness of this technique in terms of cognitive and affective components is supported by statistical data. (CS)

Presents an illustration to demonstrate the smallness of molecules; also a derivation of a temperature scale (Fahrenheit/Celsius) interconversion equation by plotting temperatures of one scale against corresponding temperature of another. (CS)

Described is the chemistry syllabus the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland designed for use in the secondary classroom. The syllabus presents chemistry as the science of the various forms of matter and their transformations and enables the student to assess the social importance and contribution of chemistry to society. (DS)

Presents an exercise for high school students on filling orbitals to help them gain an understanding of theoretical basis for the shape of periodic table. Preliminary instructions are outlined and followed by instructions to the teacher and questions and problems for the students. (Author/SA)

Included is information regarding: the adaptation of microcomputer materials in physics curricula; a school-industry liaison case study involving basic electronics for teachers; the use of language in science lessons; problems in teaching image-synthesis skills; and tabulated results of a questionnaire concerning a ten-year span of organic…

A discussion is presented of balancing oxidation-reduction equations that have multiple sets of balancing coefficients or confusing stoichiometry. (BB)

Describes procedures that students can follow to develop latent prints. An introduction of chemistry of latent prints is also presented. (HM)

Describes the six types of testing used in the Nuffield A-Level physics exam in Great Britain. Includes numerous item examples and discusses changes that have been made in the exam. (MLH)

Describes the 0-level Nuffield physics exam used in Great Britain and procedures for administering this exam. (MLH)

Suggests approaches to curriculum production and their application to in-service training of curriculum developers. Also discusses experiences of developing the Australian Science Education Project (ASEP) materials. (MLH)

Surveys Australian states regarding the use of Australian Science Education Project (ASEP) materials in the public junior secondary schools. (MLH)

Results of a questionnaire given to junior high students for evaluating ISCS science courses and teachers are reported. Findings showed that opinions tended to be generally positive. (DT)

Discusses ways to improve physics curricula, such as including events from science history and using discovery techniques. (MLH)
