Summarizes the results of a 1969 experiment survey made for learning the impact of special publications and the trend of experimentation in colleges. Describes some new or modified apparatus that has appared since the 1956 survey. (GS)

This study attempted to determine at what grade levels children develop the ability to combine and control variables, the effect of the elementary science program on this development, and the relationship between a child's ability to control variables and his ability to form combinations of variables.

In 1986, the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education requested that an advanced course in Biology II be developed. The resulting curriculum guide contains grade appropriate goals, skills, and competencies; suggested activities; suggested materials of instruction; and minimum time allotments for instruction. Biology II is a…

This curriculum guide to the physical sciences was prepared for use in high schools in Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida. Courses covered for grades 10-12 are chemistry, advanced chemistry, physical science, physics, advanced physics, science survey/physical, and science research. For each course, the following elements are included: notes to…

Some research in social psychology has examined the effect of social influence on group processes. To examine the conditions under which individuals cooperate to function as a group and the effects of this group formation on the cohesiveness, communication, and morale of group members, two experiments were conducted. A group of three male subjects…

Describes two experiments in physics, using the same inexpensive apparatus, that may be performed as projects by high ability secondary science students. (JR)

Explains a study designed to consider the influence of positive and negative affect induced by cognitive mediation on behaviors thought to reflect depression. Concludes that results show fairly strong support for Velten's (1968) methodology and suggest that affect can be manipulated in the laboratory. (Author/EJT)

Presents a laboratory experiment specifically designed for allied health students. The students construct molecular models of amino acids, extract amino acids from their skin with hot water, and chromatographically analyze the skin extract and hydrolyzed insulin. (MLH)
