The articles listed were written as part of the research and evaluation program of Project Physics. Many articles are concerned with problems of educational research while others are devoted directly to the evaluation of Project Physics. The articles are listed in four categories according to the availability of reprints: (1) published articles…

Against a background of widespread interest in national information systems, the American Institute of Physics is developing such a system for physics. This program pivots on the design of a new classification system for physics which is to be used, in conjunction with free-language index terms, for the intellectual organization of the physics…

Described is the development of a course that combines subject matter from introductory courses in biology, chemistry, and physics. The syllabus was written by four college science teachers, three of whom taught the course at Portland State College to 32 freshmen and sophomores. To evaluate the course, achievement tests and attitude surveys were…

The quality and effectiveness of the undergraduate education physics program are of growing concern. The place of the science library as a significant contributor to the undergraduate program, and the availability of funds has raised questions as to what constitutes a basic undergraduate physics library. The American Institute of Physics published…

This programed booklet is designed for the engineering student who understands and can use vector and unit vector notation, components of a vector, parallel law of vector addition, and the dot product of two vectors. Content begins with work done by a force in moving a body a certain distance along some path. For each of the examples and problem…

Compared was the effectiveness of a two-year integrated chemistry-physics course with a two-year sequence of separate courses, in developing understanding of chemistry and physics concepts, understanding science and its methods, and reactions to the study of science. Both groups used the content, materials and instructional approach of the…

The National Study of Mathematics Requirements for Scientists and Engineers is concerned with establishing the mathematics experiences desired for the many specializations in science and engineering, such as microbiology, organic chemistry, electrical engineering, and molecular physics. An instruction and course content sheet and a course…

Test items relating to Project Physics Unit 1 are presented in this booklet, consisting of 70 multiple-choice and 20 problem-and-essay questions. Concepts of motion are examined with respect to velocities, acceleration, forces, vectors, Newton's laws, and circular motion. Suggestions are made for time consumption in answering some items. Besides…

The development of new courses is described and weaknesses are identified. The current position of the project is reviewed in terms of production of syllabuses and books, production of equipment, acceptability in schools, and administration and staffing. Biology syllabuses and textbooks are discussed in more detail. Appendices include reports of…

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the principal national and international organizations which are sources of information on atomic and nuclear energy and of the published literature in this field. Organizations in all the major nuclear countries such as the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, France, and Japan are described, and…

This monograph was written for the Conference on the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. Designed for college students who are non-physics majors, the approach is phenomenological and macroscopic. There are three sections arranged in order of increasing sophistication. The sections are (1)…

This monograph was written for the Conference on the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. It is intended for use by college students at the Junior and Senior levels. There are nine chapters in this monograph. The failure of classical theory in dealing with elementary particles physics is…

This monograph was written for the Conference on the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. It is intended for college students who are not preparing to become professional physicists. The monograph contains three chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the law of inertia for objects at rest and in…

The Nuclear Safety Information Center (NSIC) is a highly sophisticated scientific information center operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Its information file, which consists of both data and bibliographic information, is computer stored and numerous programs have been developed to facilitate the…

Described is a study in which 137 undergraduate co-ed students were randomly assigned printed introductory material to the graphical analysis of straight line kinematics. One type of introduction was the traditional form and the other an advanced organizer. Students in three sections worked through printed programs and those in the other three…
