The study of climates in small areas as an outdoor science teaching technique is described in this paper. It is suggested that, while teachers are presenting a weather unit to their elementary school classes, they should not overlook the opportunity to make learning more meaningful through outdoor teaching techniques. Explorations of temperatures…

This student workbook contains units five and six of a six-unit physical science course. The program is intended for high school students who have not had a chemistry or physics course, and is designed to be self instructional. Unit five involves experiments and problems in these subject areas: temperature versus heat; units of heat; specific…

Included are instructional materials designed for use with disadvantaged students who have a limited reading ability and poor command of English. The guide is the first volume of a two volume, one year program in life science and contains these three units and activities: Measurement, 7 activities; Ecology, 12 activities; and Energy Processes, 24…

Included are instructional materials designed for use with disadvantaged students who have a limited reading ability and poor command of English. The guide is the second volume of a two volume, one year program in life science and contains these two units and activities: Reproduction and Development, 21 activities; and Genetics, 10 activities. A…

This volume contains chapters 26-31 for the American Chemical Society (ACS) "Modern Chemical Technology" (ChemTeC) instructional material intended to prepare chemical technologists. Chapter 26 reviews oxidation and reduction, including applications in titrations with potassium permanganate and iodometry. Coordination compounds are…

This volume contains chapters 32-39 for the American Chemical Society (ACS) "Modern Chemical Technology" (ChemTeC) instructional materials intended to prepare chemical technologists. The study of organic chemistry is continued as these major topics are considered: alcohols and phenols, alkyl and aryl halides, ethers, aldehydes and…

The Physics 12 curriculum guide represents one in a series of science guides especially designed to provide for the pupil whose primary interests are in non-science fields. The program provides study in physics in which fundamental concepts and understandings are developed, mathematical concepts are limited, and students are encouraged to relate…

Included are most guides for a one-year course in senior high school chemistry. The guides may be interchanged at the teacher's discretion, following any text sequence or course outline. Each guide consists of six sections: (1) an approach, which briefly discusses the unit in terms of background material, pitfalls to be avoided, and suggested…

The Australian Science Education Project is producing materials designed for use in grades 7-10 of Australian schools. This is the first trial version of a unit investigating microbial action. One of the student booklets contains instructions for the activities demonstrating food decay which all students are expected to complete. The other student…

The Australian Science Education Project is producing material designed for use in grades 7-10 of Australian schools. This is the first trial version of a unit providing instruction in microscopy. Illustrations of each step in setting up, focusing, preparation of mounts, microscopic measurement, and cleaning and packing the microscope are included…

This activity is designed to use a collection of marine bivalve shells. From these shells, students can determine approximate ages of the shells, compare weather conditions to shell ages, and learn problems of this technique. (RH)

Describes a kinetics experiment that utilizes timed reactions and colored endpoints and is suitable for large laboratory sections. (MLH)

Describes the procedure for dissecting a bulky stick insect. Also describes the maintenance of the live insects and how to obtain them. (MLH)

Photographs illustrate several principles of physics which can be observed in everyday situations. (CP)
