A more extensive review of the National Academy of Sciences report Physics in Perspective'', (D. A. Bromley, Ed.) than appears in SE 506 510. Describes major conclusions concerning graduate training, areas of future research emphasis, and the need for public education concerning the nature of physics. Suggests priorities for the allocation of…

Describes a computer graphics laboratory and its use in the teaching of physics concepts. Specific lecture demonstration in relativity and quantum physic are discussed. (LC)

Briefly describes hardware and software requirements for a computer based learning system. The methods used in various systems are reviewed briefly. (TS)

A one-page newsletter from the Council on Physics in Education (CPE) gives purposes of the group and describes a possible Physics-with-Everyday-Things contest, surveys of institutions carrying out major curriculum innovations and development of new instructional techniques. (TS)

Discusses the use of a set of computer programs (FORTRAN IV) in an introductory mechanics course for science majors. One laboratory activity is described for determining the coefficient of restitution of a glider on an air track. A student evaluation for the lab is included in the appendix. (Author/TS)

Experiments are designed with application to phenomena of the real world for use in a third-quarter introductory college physics course in wave motion, sound, and light. The computer is used to process and analyze experimental data and to extend experimental observations through simulation. (Author/TS)
