Provides three sets of problems relating to the effectiveness of energy use in the areas of transportation, heating, and electricity generation. (SL)

Describes student projects involving the appearance of "ghost" signals in television receptions. (SL)

Presents a physics instruction technique which utilizes study modules to aid students to think better and not to depend upon memorized facts. (SL)

Reviews a game for teaching electronic structures of atoms. (SL)

Discusses the uses of science fiction in the biology classroom. Included is a bibliography of biological science fiction classified according to topic. (BB)

Reports on the Progress in the Learning Science Project set up in the United Kingdom to aid teachers in choosing appropriate science activities for their students. The projects materials published under the title of Match and Mismatch are reviewed. (SL)

Describes a driving condition simulator which measures reaction time. (SL)

Fills the cells of a 3 X 3 matrix with individualized tasks. One dimension is based on Bruner's three modes of learning, the other on Bloom's recall, application, and creativity levels of abstraction. Using the grill, a self-instruction approach to learning is described. (CP)

Provides an annotated bibliography of science fiction literature suitable for use with secondary school students. Connections between science fiction and the science disciplines are viewed by the author as an excellent method by which to enrich science classes. (CP)

A model for a field course in any of the earth sciences for secondary students is presented. Aspects of planning, logistics, curriculum, accreditation, and evaluation are addressed. (MR)

Presents human-centered and cybernetic (system theory) structuring approaches for organizing the biology curriculum. Each approach involves social and inter-disciplinary impact. (SL)
