This curriculum guide is the third in a series of general science guides modified from the New York State Experimental Syllabus, Science 7-8-9 to meet the needs of students whose interests are in areas other than science. The guide is laboratory-oriented and contains many open ended, pupil activities in five activity blocks: orientation, forces at…

In two separate paired-associate learning experiments each employing 40 university students as subjects, the contribution of individual differences (IDs) in arousal to short- and long-term retention was investigated using IDs in salivary response to lemon juice stimulation as an index of arousal. Experimental subjects were pre-selected out of 184…

This volume is one of the series for the Chemical Technician Curriculum Project (ChemTeC) of the American Chemical Society funded by the National Science Foundation. It consists of discussions, exercises, and experiments on the following topics: the nature of reversible processes, equilibrium constants, variable reaction tendencies, practical…

This volume is one of a series for the Chemical Technician Curriculum Project (ChemTeC) of the American Chemical Society funded by the National Science Foundation. It consists of discussions, exercises, and experiments on the following topics: amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates, synthetic polymers, other natural products, chemical separations…

Designed to assist the teacher in introducing a unit on research and experimentation into his/her industrial arts program, this manual provides information for adoption to both classroom instruction and laboratory activities, and a student workbook. The instructor's section includes (1) What is Research? (2) Importance of Research and…

Describes laboratory activities which relate the mass, volume, density, and radii of atoms through the assumption that the smallest unit of matter is a cubic box containing one atom. From calculations based on macroscopic materials, the author feels that the concept of an atom may be better developed. (CP)

Brief suggestions for laboratory and classroom instruction in various chemistry topics are provided. (CP)

Lecture and laboratory topics of a one-quarter, undergraduate course designed to introduce students to chemical principles and phenomena involving the automobile are described. (CP)

Contains contributed suggestions in the teaching of structure and bonding and reaction rates and equilibria in the Nuffield Advanced Chemistry Project. (CP)

Describes a home-based supplementary science program for elementary school age children. The program emphasizes process skill application, simple equipment, and the use of parents as experiment advisors. (CP)

Presents an experiment for determining the pH of shampoo. (SL)

Describes an experiment to introduce students to qualitative and quantitative aspects of neutron activation analysis. (SL)

Describes a process for producing terminal or internal alkynes from ketones. Recommends using the experiment to aid in understanding acid-base strength, enolate anion chemistry, reaction at carbon versus oxygen, use of polar aprotic solvents, and elimination and nucleophilic substitution reactions. (ML)

Discusses general construction principles for miniaturized laboratory glassware. Describes a prototype experimental kit that allows the carrying out of all standard laboratory operations and discusses a trial use of the equipment with students 16- to 17-years-old. (CW)

Suggests a laboratory introduction to solid-solid phase transitions, thermochromism, and color changes associated with changes in ligand coordination suitable for undergraduate students in physical and general chemistry. Describes the preparation and analysis of the experiment. (CW)
