Describes the Student Teacher Associated Research (STAR) project, a National Science Foundation funded activity in which secondary school teachers and students work in university-based scientific research projects. Along with doing research, STAR participants act as communicators in their schools to increase interest in scientific research. (CP)

Describes a high school project in which the students construct a single-seater airplane from a kit. (MLH)

Cites numerous examples of exceptions to rules which define levels of organization in the biological sciences. Advocates deemphasizing the teaching of the concept of levels of organization because of the ambiguity of the definitions. (CP)

Describes how to play "Periodic Creep," a chemistry game in which the periodic table is the board. (LS)

Examines the results of applying an attitude scale to secondary school science students. (LS)

Suggests that students be taught processes and practical applications of biology in an interdisciplinary approach. (LS)

Identifies 20 out of 108 science misconceptions, selected by 30 percent or more of a sample of 1,444 high school and university students in Lebanon. (MLH)

Describes a game in which students practice process skills in the science classroom. (LS)

Describes a collision probability demonstration that emphasizes the value of behavior which minimizes traffic randomness. (LS)

Examines the scientific attitudes of a stratified sample of 684 tenth-grade students in Israeli schools. Compares these scores with those generated by a similar study in the United States. (CP)

Employs a questioning format by which science teachers can determine if they are subscribing to vocational, discovery, or humanistic paradigms. (CP)

Advocates (1) breaking the lock-step sequencing of courses which places physics at the end of a three-year sequence, (2) adjusting grading procedures to bring them in line with other school courses, and (3) translating abstract concepts into concrete analogies in order to increase physics enrollment. (CP)

Describes a technique utilizing analyses of photographs to study planetary motion. (CP)

Lists changes which have been made in the program and explains the philosophy upon which the alterations were based. (CP)

Suggests a pattern in which the general entry requirements to further (F) education would be based on five normal (N) subjects and a pattern in which N and F diverge after the first year of a course so that the F syllabus is related to the needs of potential entrants to higher education. (CP)
