A demonstration of how colors may be specified for use by all those trades and professions involved in building science. This is of vital importance in furthering the use of color, not only in structures but in every other aspect of our daily usage. Free enterprise requires a color language in order to expand the use of color, and to allow for…

A description of how educational plans for a flexibly scheduled, nongraded intermediate school were implemented architecturally. Consideration of architectural elements is amplified by photographs and plans. (FPO)

The purpose of this study was to determine if the reversal (i.e., mirror image) of a two-dimensional visual image would affect viewers' perceptions of selected aesthetic dimensions, using semantic differential scales as criterion measures of visual meaning. One hundred-twenty-five students who were enrolled in a basic introduction to mass…

Prepared by teachers, school librarians, and subject authorities, this bibliography serves as a source of materials for teaching the history, tradition, and literature of the state of Iowa in the elementary and secondary grades. The listing is divided into two sections. The first section contains citations to print and non-print sources, excluding…

A color sound film was developed to illustrate new materials and techniques of working with emotionally and/or neurologically handicapped students in special classes. Designed to stimulate discussion and self study, the film utilized actual students and their teachers, who had been using the new approaches as part of their usual instructional…

Intended for teachers-to-be at the undergraduate level as well as for teachers with experience, this book presents the premise that the short story--with its appropriate length and natural interest for students--is a unique teaching vehicle. Five parts comprise the volume: Part 1 discusses four teaching principles illustrated by actual short…

This study asks two questions: Is there intracultural variation among the Baganda of Uganda in the cognition of color terms; and if there is, what are the sociocultural correlates of this variation? The color terminology of the Baganda is described, and several psycholinguistic techniques are used to determine the cognition of these terms. These…

Age and instructional differences in the representation of pictorial information were investigated in a recognition memory task. A total of 56 nursery school and 40 college-age subjects observed pictures under name labeling, color labeling, imaging, and no label instructions. Subjects were then tested for retention of object identity and color…

This document reports on a color-coding innovation designed to improve the spelling ability of high school seniors. This color-coded system is based on two assumptions: that color will appeal to the students and that there are three principal reasons for misspelling. Two groups were chosen for the experiments. A basic list of spelling demons was…

Prepared by a curriculum writing team of secondary teachers, this draft curriculum guide for grades 7-12 includes 25 levels of achievement in art.

Traces the development of instruments used in spectrophotometry. Discusses how spectrophotometric measurements are made. Describes the color comparator, the filter photometer, and the spectrophotometer. Outlines the evolution of optical systems, including light sources, the monochromator, the photodetector, double-beam optics, and split-beam…

Describes how color graphics are built up on microcomputer displays and how a range of colors can be produced. Discusses the logic of color formation, noting that adding/subtracting color can be conveniently demonstrated. Color generating techniques in physics (resistor color coding and continuous spectrum production) are given with program…

Describes: the chemical history of a pencil; a simple solar camera for measuring the sun's diameter; the experimental comparison of the thermal stability of metal carbonates; and the introduction of the concept of weight as a force to young children. A computer program listing on color mixing is also provided. (JN)

Reviews studies of children's drawings and summarizes experiment which tested 5- to 11-year-olds for ability to execute color use differences and sensitivity to differences in heraldic, gradation, harmonic, and pure color use. It was found that children go from being completely unable to consistently able to produce appropriate differences. (MBR)
