Describes the Advanced Placement Program that is offered in high schools for students who want advanced studies in physics. Different aspects of the program, such as the course structure and grading procedures, are described briefly. (PS)

Compared students' physics grades with their overall and other science grade point averages to determine teacher's grading severity in schools with a high and a low percent physics enrollment, and concluded the absence of apparent relationships between grading practices and low enrollments. (CC)

Describes the errors in the sugar-cube experiment related to radioactivity as described in Project Physics course. The discussion considers some of the steps overlooked in the experiment and generalizes the theory beyond the sugar-cube stage. (PS)

Describes apparatus which can be constructed to allow students to experiment and collect data for understanding various aspects of simple motion of objects. Detailed instructions are given. (PS)

Critical examination of the Teachers' Guide and Guide to Experiments and Questions Book in O-level Nuffield physics course reveals there may be disadvantages to the current organization when analyzed with psychological considerations. (PS)

Describes innovative programs carried out in four institutions, six programs deal with testing techniques and teaching methods in mathematics and science courses with the remaining one being concerned with relationships of man's life in a technological society to natural and cultural forces. (CC)

Describes an introductory physics experiment carried out by 24 students who used an IBM-360 Model-44 computer to stimulate Stokes' law. Discusses advantages of simulation programs in teaching experiment design. (CC)

Describes a one-year program in which students are given lectures on instrumentation topics, acquire experience participating in campus and community laboratories, and complete individual projects to receive the master's degree. Indicates a high ability of attacking laboratory problems in students' achievement. (CC)

Describes the pedagogical use of a 12.0m x 1.0m x 0.8m electromagnet to demonstrate the properties of magnetostatic fields and the Faraday-Henry induction law. (CC)
