As part of its first-year activities, the Atlanta University Department of Chemistry, which started as Doctor of Arts degree program in September 1975, sponsored a conference on April 23-24, 1976 to which were invited 20 two- and four-year college faculty and administrators. The main objectives were to discuss the need and credibility of the…

This booklet presents the proceedings of an international symposium held at Madrid, Spain, September 6-7, 1975, to discuss the present state and future prospects of educational technology as it affects the teaching of chemistry. Ten papers and reports from 20 countries are included, with topics including: the potentialities of new educational…

This booklet, one of a series developed by the Frederick County Board of Education, Frederick, Maryland, provides an instruction module for an individualized or flexible approach to secondary science teaching. Subjects and activities in this series of booklets are designed to supplement a basic curriculum or to form a total curriculum, and relate…

Investigates whether chemistry laboratory skills are commonly developed in secondary schools and whether college professors and high school teachers agree that students still demonstrate these skills in first-term college chemistry labs. One hundred and four chemistry teachers and 298 college professors participated in this study. (HM)

Presents few ideas and tips on demonstrations for secondary school teachers; the concept of one part per billion, the running flame tests, models of atoms and molecules. Supplies the names of some useful high school science books. (GA)

A general discussion of sewage sterilization methods, including techniques using pH, Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Ozone, Iodine and Bromine, metal ions, and cationic surface active agents is presented. (MDR)

Describes a two-year high school chemistry course for girls that includes visits to local industries, the study of their chemical processes, and work in their laboratories. (GA)

Describes a chemistry course designed for the general student at Pampa Senior High School, Pampa, Texas. It presents the fundamental concepts in chemistry in a nonmathematical context; contains many options in the form of minicourses; and permits the student to pace himself. (HM)

Describes an advanced analytical chemistry laboratory experiment developed for the determination of the performance parameters of a spectrophotometer. Among the parameters are the baseline linearity with wavelength, wavelength accuracy and respectability, stray light, noise level and pen response time. (HM)

Brief suggestions for laboratory and classroom instruction in various chemistry topics are provided. (CP)

An informal look at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. Included are discussions of the general atmosphere and departmental research interests. (BB)

Investigates the attainment of abstract and concrete concepts and the use of pseudoexamples to move concrete thinkers to abstract levels in secondary school chemistry classes. Findings reveal abstract students achieve significantly higher means on both concrete and abstract concept attainment and that pseudo examples have no effect on the ability…

Reviews a cooperative program in which a number of nearby chemistry departments combined to purchase a mobile spectroscopy laboratory housed in a step-van truck. (SL)
