An activity in which students combine physical and mathematical principles in a measurement situation is described. (SD)

Construction of colorful braided polyhedra can provide upper elementary students with enjoyable geometric experiences. (SD)

Six short papers are presented on analytical chemistry in an integrated laboratory sequence, analytical chemistry at a junior college, the sophomore level analytical laboratory, the analytical textbook situation, and graduate level analytical chemistry. (BB)

A discussion is presented on the role of secondary teachers in public schools, followed by a sequence for teaching oxidation-reduction in secondary school chemistry courses. (BB)

A gas pressure gauge has been constructed for use in a student experiment involving the law of atmospheres. From pressure data obtained at selected elevations the average mass of air molecules is determined and compared to that calculated from the molecular weights and percentages of constituents to the air. (Author/BB)

Eleven papers are reported on which discuss teaching techniques related to the teaching of chemistry of the high school and college levels. (BB)

Describes a simple method for establishing the end point in a volumetric analysis that will save time, and reduce both the titration error and the required amount of reagents. (GA)

Exercises are presented for classification of marine algae on the basis of biochemical characteristics such as pigmentation, cell wall components, and food storage products. (BB)

Describes curriculum used by the Chemistry Department at the American University of Washington, D.C. in preparing and implementing a program to update two groups of women in order to prepare them to enter graduate school or return to the job market in chemistry. (HM)

Presents an undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory experiment describing the measurement of the proton magnetic resonance spectra. (HM)

Establishes the extent to which practical work in South African high schools varies with respect to factors such as gender of student, type of school, medium of instruction, and examination board. Investigates the relationship between experience of experimental work and pupil attainment as measured by matriculation grade. (Author/GA)

This experiment uses a nine-chambered plexiglas unit to facilitate rapid construction of galvanic cells and measurement of cell voltage. Using this procedure, a pair of students can construct and obtain the cell voltages of two precipitation cells, three concentration cells, and six redox cells in 30-40 minutes. (BB)

The observation of soap bubbles in a beaker of carbon dioxide gas helps students to feel the pleasure that comes from understanding nature, from applying that understanding to real problems, and from making unexpected discoveries that yield to analysis. (Author/BB)

Suggestions on the preparation of various kinds of glass and a demonstration of burning magnesium and dry ice are presented. (CP)

Describes a synthesis of chrysanthemic acid which has been used successfully in a laboratory course. (Author/CP)
