Presents a report of the mathematical requirements in physics and chemistry courses as these relate to studying biology at various levels. (PEB)

Information was requested on course goals, lesson goals, committee goals, instructional methods, question types and purposes, question-objective correlation, class assignments, textbooks, and supplemental teaching materials. (GS)

Describes the use of storage oscilloscopes in five physics experiments, in lecture demonstrations, and in improved measurement techniques. (GS)

One way to motivate students' interest in physics is to teach it in the context of medicine. Optics, for example, can be taught with examples from the eye. For many years simple optics of lenses has been taught using a model of the eye. However, recent advances in using lasers for ophthalmological (ocular) examinations can be used to increase…

Traditionally, the Doppler effect for sound is introduced in high school and college physics courses. Students calculate the perceived frequency for several scenarios relating a stationary or moving observer and a stationary or moving sound source. These calculations assume a constant velocity of the observer and/or source. Although seldom…

Reports on a one day meeting organized by the Scottish Branch of the Institute of Physics. The main topic was the future of physics teaching in schools. It included an analysis of the present situation in science, input from company recruiters and college professors, and possible solutions to present problems. (GS)

Presents computer simulations of diffusion, equilibria, molecular movement across a membrane, moving quanta at random between atoms, nuclear disintegration, and nuclear decay and half life. (GS)

Presents an updated bibliography of literature pertaining to lecture demonstrations useful at all levels of instruction. (GS)

Presents ideas for equipment protection, equipment storage, apparatus construction, demonstration techniques, and laboratory procedures. (GS)

Briefly defines the legal aspects of safety. Presents prominent safety hazards and procedures that should be followed when dealing with electricity, radioactive materials, lasers, poisons, and vacuum apparatus. (GS)

Presents the author's recollections of the emergence of the new quantum theory and his associations with such men as Oskar Klein, Niels Bohr, Frederick Hund, Werner Heisenberg, J. J. Thomson, and others. (GS)

Presents the objectives, content structure, and administrative procedures of an integrated chemistry-physics program. Considers the relative advantages and disadvantages of an integrated approach. (GS)

Presents an interdisciplinary model. The life style coefficient illustrates data expression as an equation with an exponential term. (GH)
