In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of graphing technology for the teaching of mathematics. This interest has been, in part, sparked by the recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards and "Everybody Counts: A Report to the Nation on the Future of Mathematics Education."…

The "CSE Program Evaluation Kit" is a series of nine books intended to assist people conducting program evaluations. This volume, the third in the kit, discusses the logic underlying the use of quantitative research designs, including the pretest-posttest design, and supplies step-by-step procedures for setting up and interpreting the…

Flowers are not only pretty, they are also one of the key elements in the process of plant pollination and reproduction that goes from flowers to fruits to seeds! In All About Plant Pollination: Fruit, Flowers & Seeds, young scientists learn about the different parts of a flower through the use of microscopic photography and detailed diagrams.…

Discusses the theory and experimental procedures for using Young's eriometer to determine the diameters of blood corpuscles, lycopodium powder, and wool fibers. (CC)

Describes the experimental procedures for isolating fungi and demonstrating their tolerance of fungicides such as creosote and organic mercury. (JR)

Defines learning and memory and presents experimental evidence that indicates that learning and memory are chemical in nature. (JR)

Presents a brief historical account of Michelson's invention of his interferometer with some subsequent ingenious applications of its capabilities for precise measurement discussed in details, including the experiment on detrmination of the diameters for heavenly bodies. (CC)

Presents theoretical fundamentals of the experiment on the multiple reflection of helium-neon laser beams from a black-surfaced mirror. Further applications to student projects are indicated. (CC)

Discusses teaching of two project experiments to nonscience students who were asked to measure the acceleration of a system any way they could and investigate any phenomena that they thought might follow a Poisson distribution. Indicates that physics learning performed outside the physics building is the experiment highlight. (CC)

Considered the interaction between job and motivation factors and the relation of attribution theory and role theory. (Author/RK)

Teacher utilized a musical instrument to help children learn about music and to appreciate the art of composing music. (RK)

This study is an examination of the environmental forces and curriculum involvement in open and closed classroom settings. (Author)

This paper presents a number of inferential statistical models that may aid the operant investigator in presenting his data. (Author/RK)
