Author attempted to relate research in the area of musical studies with Leon Kamin's research with animals. The experiment with human subjects set out to measure the presentation of auditory stimuli without punishment as an indication of memorization processes. (RK)

Discusses the use of a modified air table to conduct laboratory experiments which eschews research-oriented lab experience and concentrates on concepts learned in classroom. Includes a description of apparatus construction, sample instruction sheets, and a list of laboratory concepts with their relationships to classroom materials. (CC)

A laboratory experiment is described which presents some molecular parameters of iodine molecule by studying iodine spectrum. Points out this experiment can be conducted by sixth form students in high school laboratories. (PS)

Outlines an optics course, designed for science and nonscience majors, which emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematics. Indicates that the new curriculum permits liberal arts students to learn physics as well as the relationship of physics to society. (CC)

Outlines a one-semester course on Physics of the Environment'' which is designed for physics and nonphysics majors with a one-semester physics prerequisite. Indicates that the students are content to learn about the environment thoroughly rather than a course concentrating on pollution. (CC)

Includes ten topics relating to laboratory activities, experimental procedures, and teaching materials suitable for secondary school physics classes. (JR)
