This science sourcebook was written for intermediate grade teachers to provide guidance in teaching a specially developed unit on chemical indicators. Directions and suggestions for guiding student science activities are given. Some of the activities concern soil testing, crystals, and household powders such as sugar and salt. A list of necessary…

This monograph consists of a text, a guide to the experiments for students, and a guide to the experiments for instructors. The text is intended to provide continuity to relate the experiments to one another and to provide some mathematical basis for analysis of the various phenomena observed. Only the five experiments performed in the student…

The tests included in this document are teacher-constructed. They are based on questions asked by students in connection with and following completion of laboratory experiences directed toward the understanding of specific "Ideas". The "Ideas" were taught, the laboratory experiences were completed, the tests were constructed, and the test keys…

This publication includes four pamphlets providing background material for understanding the NASA program of planetary flights. Each issue presents student involvement activities as well as suggested reading lists. Issue 1 describes the innermost planets of the solar system. Issue 2 gives information about the evolution of the planetary system as…

This teacher's guide provides background information, curriculum source materials, and suggested class activities for class discussion and study.

Classroom cooks knead and churn their way to good food, skills and awareness. (Editor)

Provides a brief account of the discovery and theory of antimatter and describes several activities relevant to the study of antimatter on the secondary level. (MLH)

The roles and rewards of amateurism and involvement in amateur activities in the post-retirement years are explored. (DS)

Explains magneto-optical effects and describes techniques which may be used, in conjunction with certain materials, to reveal domain structures. In addition, simple experiments are described which enable domains to be observed under various conditions of applied fields. (Author/GA)

This elementary school science project involves making a car out of pegboard, spools, rubber bands, and dowel. (BB)

A classroom experiment is proposed in which students can mate a banded or spotted convict cichlid with a pink convict cichlid and observe the markings of their "children" and "grandchildren" as a way of illustrating Mendel's Laws of Dominance and Segregation. (MN)

The McGraw-Hill Elementary Science Study materials, a set of eight science modules, are reviewed. Modules consist of teacher's guide, activity cards, and related equipment. (MR)
