Discusses the status and problems of physics education in the preuniversity schools (grades 7-12) in The Netherlands. (HM)

Describes a community interest short course in physics developed to increase awareness of the methods and principles of science. (SL)

Describes the Project Physics curriculum, including its origins, content and structure, current level of use, and philosophy of its approach. (MLH)

A description is given of a three credit-hour course entitled Radiation and the Environment. The course syllabus along with descriptions and criticisms of the course texts, are included. Also, some quotes from student's papers are presented indicating attitudes toward nuclear energy at the end of the course. (MR)

Describes a physics course concerned with the physical principles underlying devices used and natured occurrences observed in daily experience. (SL)

Reports on apparatus for generating Lissajous figures, projecting Poisson's spots, photographing diffraction patterns, electric heating, and projecting moving longitudinal waves on an oscilloscope. (SL)

Successful teaching of physics on the secondary level requires continual emphasis on the relationship of experimental data to the development of abstract models, sensible grouping of instructional content in textbooks, sufficient teaching time for reinforcement and review, and relevant examination questions. (AV)

Recommends that high school students be taught about interdisciplinary relationships among the sciences, specifically chemistry and physics. Explains how schools can coordinate class schedules and course content to complement learning in both sciences. (AV)

Presents four science experiments for the junior high level relating to electric switches, a chemical card game, combustion energy, and chromatography. (SL)

Describes the use of an interactive computer terminal for introductory laboratory experiments. (SL)

Describes the operation of the computer program and a sample print-out is provided. (CP)

Describes a nuclear and radiation chemistry course offered to second and third year students at the University of New South Wales, England. (SL)

Presents a computational example of a quantum theory chemistry suitable for inclusion in an undergraduate physical chemistry course. (SL)

The syndicate study is a group approach to solving problems. Students are involved in fieldwork, research, discussion, and reporting on a particular problem dealing with the interaction of scientific technology and society. Some syndicate topics include physical control of the environment, low impact technology, and social implications of nuclear…

Describes a course designed to familarize secondary teachers with laboratory apparatus and experiments suitable for the high school level. (SL)
