Provides background information on honey ants. These ants are found in dry or desert regions of North America, Africa, and Australia. Also provides a list of activities using local species of ants. (JN)

Describes a sequence of five computer programs (listings for Apple II available from author) on tactic responses (oriented movement of a cell, cell group, or whole organism in reponse to stimuli). The simulation programs are useful in helping students examine mechanisms at work in real organisms. (JN)

Provides a collection of data on the mechanistic aspects of inorganic chemical reactions. Wherever possible includes procedures for classroom demonstration or student project work. The material covered includes gas phase reactions, reactions in solution, mechanisms of electron transfer, the reaction between iron III and iodine, and hydrolysis. (GS)

Described is an energy awareness module utilized, in the San Diego (California) county schools, to make students more aware of energy use in the local community. Activities include an energy game and energy walks in the school and in the community. (SL)

Presented are views, on planning science fairs and science fair projects, of a fair coordinator, a science teacher, and students. Also included are 25 questions which might result in science fair projects. (SL)

Presents six kinds of corrosion and laboratory experiments that demonstrate the chemical reactions that occur in each. Relates studies in corrosion to studies of resource wastefulness. (CS)

Describes individualized television instruction involving active student participation, where experiments on air breathing in fish and shoot growth were videotaped. Students collected data directly from the television screen. Student accuracy was found to be excellent; reactions to the medium were found to be apathetic. Reasons for apathy are…

Methods for determining the radius of an atom are described. Unlike a previous article which approached the problem from an elementary perspective, this article examines a progression of increasingly sophisticated determinations. (CS)

Describes early childhood activities that stimulate a child's curiosity about the action of dropping on various objects. Discusses the concepts that are developed from simple experiments, suggesting objects, and methods that illustrate the different effects of dropping. (CS)

Describes a classroom game demonstrating the effect people have upon their environmental system. Presents the rules and examples of playing cards that can be cut out, copied, or pasted on filecards. (MLH)

Included are four pages for an instructional workbook including ideas for basic activities, a data collection game, and a biology project relating to the field of aviation and space science. (SL)

Described is a program that utilizes basic instruction in photography to improve the self esteem and basic vocabulary of deaf children. (SL)

Described are embryology experiments demonstrating effects of lithium on the nervous system and the use of hypertonic salt solutions to produce exogastrulation in the eggs of Xenopus laevis. (SL)
