Learning, 1983
Activities for teaching about the solar system, the earth's rotation, plants, pendulums, and animal adaptation are described. Included are suggestions for building scale models to illustrate the solar system's proportions and the earth's rotation speed, and for using playground swings to demonstrate pendulum motion. (PP)

Chapple, Eliot D. – Teachers College Record, 1981
The language of the central nervous system (the brain) differs from logical structures of language. Sound and movement together make up the total response patterns of the individual. In order to investigate the properties of interaction rhythms, verbal and nonverbal, the expressive and performing arts must be understood. (JN)
Descriptors: Anatomy, Biology, Body Language, Cerebral Dominance
Regan, David; And Others – Scientific American, 1979
Discusses how an individual's visual system processes cues to motion in depth. A theoretical model of the operations of the visual system that underlie the perception of motion in depth is included. (HM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Dimensional Preference, Eyes, Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bartlett, Albert A.; And Others – Physics Teacher, 1980
Discusses free-fall acceleration in accelerated frames of reference of moving cars. Specifically, evidence presented by oil leaks on pavement is used as an example of exploring this phenomenon. (CS)
Descriptors: Acceleration, College Science, Higher Education, Motion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Newby, Neal D., Jr. – American Journal of Physics, 1980
Describes an air track experiment which involves a massive particle incident on a fixed wall with a light particle trapped in between. An analysis for this experiment, which is intended for junior and senior college students, is also included. (HM)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Mechanics (Physics), Motion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Macomber, Hilliard K. – American Journal of Physics, 1981
Describes an electric circuit permitting easy observation and measurement of the response of a damped harmonic oscillator to impulsive excitation. The impulse analysis is carried out and related to experimental observations. The phenomenon of resonance is then interpreted and demonstrated, and through it, contact is made with Fourier analysis.…
