Indicates some of the information that may be obtained from a binary solid-liquid phase equilibria experiment and a method to write a computer program that will plot an ideal phase diagram to which the experimental results may be compared. (Author/CP)

Describes the laboratory procedure suitable for an introductory organic chemistry procedure. (CP)

Discusses an experiment involving a linear chain of falling dominoes. The time for a chain of N equally spaced dominoes to fall is measured and a plot is made between the time and N. The experimental data are compared with the predictions of theory. (Author/GA)

Describes an experiment to verify the Compton collision formula and the angular dependance of the Klein-Nishina formula. Equipment used is a 1-mCi(137)Cs source, 2x2 in. NaI detector and a multichannel analyzer. Suitable for honor undergraduates. (Author/GA)

Describes a thought experiment using a general analysis approach with Lorentz transformations to show that the apparent self-contradictions of special relativity concerning the length-paradox are really non-existant. (GA)

Certain chemical systems oscillate between one color and another. This article describes procedures for examining this phenomenon. (MA)

Described is the use of molecular model kits in high school biology class and gives a laboratory unit for studying molecular structures of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. (BB)

A ten-day minicourse in consumerism is described which utilizes outside speakers, experiments, audiovisual material, and field trips to local stores. This is a junior high school course but is adaptable elementary, secondary, or college level. (BB)

Presents an experiment for a physical chemistry course designed expecially for students majoring in the life sciences. (SL)

A wide variety of teaching methods for improving instruction in mathematics, science and the social studies was discussed. As well, suggestions for improving students' motor control were presented. (RK)

Science-related secondary school topics are briefly described. Articles include oceanology, proficiency testing, in-school museums and career education in the health sciences. (CP)

Describes techniques for studying hand specimens of polished rock slabs. (SL)

Describes a computer assisted program designed to aid students in detailed description/identification of igneous rocks. (SL)

Describes an introductory geology seminar conducted almost entirely upon reviewing current newspaper articles relating to earth sciences. (SL)

Describes an experiment simulating heat transfer and overall energy loss in upper layers of soil surfaces. (SL)
