Summarizes the results obtained from two questionnaires sent by the study group of the British Committee on Chemical Education which was set up to look at the problems of students' computational inability. included are four positive recommendations on textbook preparation, examination techniques, and inservice teacher training. (CC)

Reports the results of a study designed to determine if the values and practices of science teachers and science graduates studying for a diploma in education are congruent with the values upon which the Australian Science Education Project (ASEP) materials are based. (JR)

Describes several well documented cases of Extra Sensory Perception (ESP), and discusses ways in which ESP experiments can be conducted in the science classroom to investigate telepathy, pyschokinesis, and clairvoyance. (JR)

Discusses the nature of energy, the ways in which it is used in our society, non-polluting sources of energy, and means by which energy can be conserved to alleviate the shortage and minimize environmental degradation. (JR)

Discusses the structure of the Matriculation Physics course offered in South Australian secondary schools and points to weaknesses in terms of preparation for students who elect to study physics at the tertiary level. (JR)

Deals with some of the findings regarding "understanding of science" obtained within the framework of the Israeli Biological Sciences Curriculum Study-adaptation project. Identifies some of the difficulties associated with assessing student achievement in understanding the nature of science. (JR)

Reports the findings and conclusions of the Joint Royal Society/Institute of Physics Physics Education Committee (in Collaboration with mathematicians) regarding the mathematical needs of "A' level physics students in Britain. (JR)

Reports the results of a study designed to determine the attitudes of Northern Ireland students toward the Schools Council Integrated Science Project (SCISP). (JR)

Reports the results of a study in which cognitive-field learning theory was applied to the curriculum evaluation of a unit of the Australian Science Education Project (ASEP). (JR)

Argues that the topic of symbiosis has been greatly neglected and underemphasized in general-biology textbooks. Discusses many types and examples of symbiosis, and provides an extensive bibliography of the literature related to this topic. (JR)

A professor describes his involvement in the Trainers of Teacher Trainers Program (TTT). As part of his contribution to the program he has assembled a series of physics experiments which he demonstrates for teachers and students in both the secondary and elementary schools. A description of the experiments is also presented. (JP)

The advantages are related of a video recorder over a Polaroid camera for doing experiments dealing with the "conservation of mass and momentum." Use of video records is advocated for recording measurements in physics experiments. (JP)

Describes the vegetation and animals to be found in the Sturt Gorge area of South Australia. (JR)
