This study sought to obtain insight into the pattern of relationships between students' achievement in science and study behavior variables. Surveyed were 17-year-olds in the science stream of two secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur. Sex differences were found. (MNS)

Presents four generalizations about solubilities. These generalizations (rules), are useful in introducing the dynamic topics of solubility and in helping high school and introductory college chemistry students make some order out of the tremendous number of facts available. (JN)

Quantifies the interaction of a tennis ball and a tennis court surface. Also shows how, by making a few simple measurements, one court surface can be compared to another court surface. (JN)

High school chemistry students begin the school year by reading and studying "The Double Helix" by James B. Watson. Rationale, objectives, and instructional strategies for this assignment are discussed. Sample discussion questions based on the book are included. (JN)

Presents a syllabus indicating the essential physics content suggested for all students aged 11-16. Major topic areas include matter, energy, interactions, electronics, and physical quantities. Includes commentary on treatment for low ability students and on additional content related to General Certificate of Education (GCE) and Certificate of…

A polarizing microscope can considerably enhance the teaching of plant anatomy. Instructions for adapting a normal teaching microscope for use as a polarizing microscope are provided. (JN)

A transdisciplinary course in marine biology and oceanography is described. The course was conducted during an experimental educational venture in which the school calendar was organized into two shortened semesters and a one-month miniterm in January. The field experience involved activities in the Florida Keys during the miniterm. (EB)

Discusses how a chemistry teacher can help the student learn the technical vocabulary of chemistry. (MLH)

Discusses an explanation for secondary science students of the concept of additivity of oxidation and reduction potentials, especially in relation to the nonapplicability of Hess's Law. (MLH)

Two groups of tenth-grade Israeli students were instructed in Chemistry using either films or laboratory experiments. Results of this study show that the films were an effective substitute for students' individual laboratory work. (MLH)
