Presents two elementary and two secondary teaching strategies related to food and energy as global issues. Includes making a survey on energy use, an exercise about food, society, and technology, an energy and a water survey, and discussion and experiments concerning food and technology. (CK)

Seven suggested activities for use in biology classrooms are described. (HM)

Presents thirteen selected chemistry activities which could be used in school chemistry courses. (HM)

Presents five selected physics activities which could be used in school physics courses. (HM)

Discusses the future of chemical research in the 1980s and the important improvements that will probably occur, particularly in the chemical industry. (SA)

Presents part two on the use of the detection of thermoluminescence as an analytical tool for the chemistry laboratory and allied science. This part discusses instrumentation used and investigates recent developments in instrumentation for thermoluminescence. (HM)

Presents a discussion for the principles of a Fourier Transform infrared spectrophotometer which is intended to provide chemists with a basic understanding of these principles. (HM)

Discusses the cognitive outcomes of physics laboratory exercises and suggests three types of experiments which should be added to those normally used in physics courses. (HM)

An elementary science teacher's technique for stimulating children to think visually, is presented. Through the medium of magic, children are given opportunities to form mental images to explain certain phenomena in science class. (SA)

Describes a physics laboratory for college students, in which the students participate in a firsthand noninertial experience. The equipment and problems are described. (SA)

The hazards associated with recombinant DNA research are presented along with some social implications and the development of recombinant DNA research guidelines by the National Institutes of Health. (SA)

Evaluates the value and effectiveness of college science laboratory instruction. An observational system called the Science Laboratory Interaction Categories (SLIC) was used to assess the performance of students and instructors in introductory and advanced laboratories of a large midwestern university. (HM)

Describes few heat demonstrations where the use of a coolant spray could enhance their effectiveness. (GA)

This experiment is suitable for an integrated laboratory course for senior chemistry majors. It introduces the student to a study of the relative basicity of different proton accepting sites. It serves as an opportunity to learn about nmr techniques and could extend to infrared, as well. (BB)

The financial and accreditation problems of the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities, an innovative institution that includes the Union Graduate School and the undergraduate University Without Walls, are examined. Also discussed is the Union's ability to retain its experimental character as it faces retrenchment. (JMD)
