Describes a course emphasizing the conceptual and philosophical basis of modern physics for upper division liberal arts students. The method of teaching leans heavily on modern visual aids and lecture demonstration. (Author/DF)

A one-quarter, noncalculus, no-laboratory course entitled Aims and Rules in Physics'' is reported. The student population ranges from humanities freshmen to physics seniors. The course analyzes a few discoveries and inventions of prerelativistic physics in the light of physicists' and philosophers' views. (Author/DF)

Individualized instruction similar to the Keller plan with two additional features: (1) student freedom in selecting his own procedure for mastering the course material; (2) some variety in topics studied by each student. Describes two successful trials of this plan in an atomic physics course at MIT. (Author/DF)

A series of three computer-generated films intended to serve as teaching aids in presenting ideas concerning the motion of electrons in periodic potential. (DF)

Increasing physics enrollment is attributed to student interest in the course that is conducted in an informal atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on laboratory experience with open-ended experiments and problem sessions conducted with small groups. Group instruction and optional research in selected scientific areas are also included. (DF)

Questions concerning whether physicists are socially responsible as professional physicists, citizens, and teachers are discussed. It is felt that science curricula must include social applications of science and general studies in schools must include more science. (DF)

The problem of the origin is inextricably interwoven with such matters as the origin of the universe, the structure and evolution of galaxies, stars and other astronomical objects, and with nuclear physics. (Author/DF)

The primary goal is to explain the theory, and further, to expand a scheme of instruction and classroom procedures that arise as a consequence of his theory. Whenever possible, these ideas will be put forth using examples in physics context in an effort to elucidate difficult ideas. (DF)

Data were collected from forty-two schools to obtain background information on teachers, to guide the teachers in recording daily classroom activities, and to establish procedures for the visit by the investigators. (DF)
