Describes a course designed to improve the instruction of teaching assistants (TA's) in physics laboratories. (SL)

Presents an experimental method for introducing special relativity which utilizes the distinction between Doppler effects for sound and for light. (SL)

Reviews the electronic instrumentation utilized in the medical measurement of oxygen concentration, blood oxygen, brain viability, and fluid balance. (SL)

Describes fourteen different BASIC computer programs to aid teaching secondary physics. (SL)

Describes an alternative to the historical approach for teaching special relativity to secondary physics students. (SL)

Presents a two part study of the effect of classroom observation on teacher effectiveness. (SL)

Reviews the subject of the electronic structures of metals which produce magnetism. (SL)

Describes an apparatus for quickly demonstrating the quantum effect of freezing the rotational energy of molecular hydrogen. (SL)

A factorial design which intersected process skill instruction with field experience was utilized. Significantly higher physics achievement scores and process skill competency were observed for the field-experience, process-supplemented physics course. (CP)

Reports the findings of a study involving teacher assessment of practical work in secondary level physics courses taught in Northern Ireland. Assessment is made by a single standardized examination. (SL)

Describes a procedure for integrating computer graded homework into physics courses. (SL)

This paper describes a Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) general physics course taught within the constraints of a small community college. The PSI format is described and student opinions of it are presented. (Author/CP)

An experiment is described in which students in an introductory laboratory can determine all of the relevant energy flows of an ordinary household refrigerator. (Author/CP)

Describes apparatus utilized to demonstrate physics principle. Equipment described includes a low pressure chamber, a 360 degree loop ramp, a tilted table demonstrating motion principles, and a method for casting a three dimensional display of magnetic lines of force. (SL)

HELP (P), the Higher Education Learning Project (Physics) is a collaborative venture among teachers of physics in several British universities involving skill development, stimulation of individualized study, and teaching techniques. (LBH)
