A course based on the science used in science fiction stories is described wherein the students read the stories and discuss the physics content. A partial list of the books read is included along with the background theme and appropriate references. (DF)

Discusses a course, centered around 32 experiments taught for advanced students, designed to develop a laboratory strongly suggestive of contemporary research using relatively sophisticated apparatus. Its unique advantage lies in enriching advanced physics curriculum. (DF)

Describes an individualized instruction physics program. Characteristic features of program include topics relevant to students and study in an area' rather than a strict subject discipline. (PS)

A study was conducted to assess attitudes and achievement in physics of college freshmen. Interest in college physics has dropped significantly. Other findings about Physical Science Study Committee attitudes of boys versus girls and student achievement are significant points for future consideration. (PS)

Recognizes that physics, like other sciences, deals with information in the form of sense impressions. Concepts of mass length and time are not sensory experiences and should substitute instead the terms of force, displacement and time for better understanding. (PS)
