Discusses two main problem areas for school/industry cooperation: (1) the need to define the purpose of such cooperation; and (2) the logistical restraints of mass visits to local industries. Also discusses the development of attitudes, and the construction of interactive teaching packages. (CS)

Describes a "bridge" model that is used in aiding young people interested in science careers to make the transition from school to working life, covering roughly the ages of 13 to 19 years. (CS)

Describes: (1) Law of Mass Action; (2) equilibrium constant and ideal behavior; (3) general form of the equilibrium constant; (4) forward and reverse reactions; (5) factors influencing equilibrium; (6) Le Chatelier's principle; (7) effects of temperature, changing concentration, and pressure on equilibrium; and (8) catalysts and equilibrium. (JN)

Describes an experiment as an alternative to undergraduate experiments limited to high temperature metal systems or lower temperature systems involving objectionable or unstable materials. Lists six advantages of the experiment. (Author/JN)

Describes an experiment in which acetaminophen is converted into phenacetin, that has been used at Shepherd College in an introductory chemistry course for nurses and in the organic chemistry laboratory. (BT)

A discussion is given of the ways in which thermal conductivity, velocity, and viscosity of sound propagation of gases can be measured by freshmen college students. (Author/SA)

The use of microcomputers in the undergraduate chemistry laboratory is presented. Examples are included which can be implemented in the PET 2001. (SA)

Correlation of the Learning Environment Inventory with a semantic differential attitude test indicated that three learning environment variables (goal direction, satisfaction, and classroom organization) fostered positive attitudes toward chemistry. Course difficulty, interpersonal tension, and course speed were related to negative attitudes. (CP)

Describes three case studies presented in a British science course to show the impact of industrial chemicals on people's lives, and how students can evaluate various factors involved in a particular case study. References and a list of factors for each case study are also included. (HM)

Describes a practical, job-related, 3 1/2 month long, basic chemistry course developed by Monsanto Research Corporation to train laboratory technicians and service employees. The course, centered around 31 chemistry topics, is designed to supplement university courses and stresses application of concepts. (BT)

Describes a spot test experiment, designed for use in the undergraduate laboratory, that has been adopted to follow the progress of coupling reactions. (BT)

Suggests that innovations, not presently imagined, will influence the evolution of chemical technology in the 1980s. External influences, such as government regulations and inflation, are discussed in relation to the industry and the public. (SA)

Describes three college lab exercises which can be used to demonstrate the elements and characteristics of continuous flow injection analysis. (HM)

Described are some of the teaching innovations used in a large university chemistry department in Britain. They include diagnostic testing and individual tutoring; self-instruction centers for remedial teaching, complementary services, and specialist materials; new laboratory approaches; and innovations to develop skills needed by chemistry…

Explores both the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of pupils' ideas related to conservation during state changes of water. Analysis of questionnaire data indicates that qualitative understanding precedes quantitative. Contains 18 references. (DDR)
