Describes an experiment for determining the thermal neutron flux of the light-water nuclear reactor at the University of California, Irvine. The difficulty of the activity can be varied to match the student's level of proficiency. (SL)

Describes current research to determine if newborn infants can discern parents from strangers. An infrared detection technique has found that three to five week old infants focus on the edges of faces while older infants look more into the other person's eyes. Increased eye observation is beleived to be associated with parental identification. (CP)

Describes a traveling physics demonstration show, sponsored by the physics department of Stephen F. Austin State University, for secondary level science classes. (SL)

Reviews instruments available for photographing and recording heat flow and temperatures in objects. (SL)

Cites studies and three illustrative cases showing benefits to a reading program which can be derived from creative dramatics activities. Discusses materials and supplies, physical arrangement and management techniques for a creative dramatics learning center. (BR)

Reports an undergraduate analytical chemistry experiment utilizing the high performance liquid chromatograph. (SL)

Describes an experiment investigating the polarization characteristics of light scattered from a dielectric cylinder. (SL)

Describes a remedial physics laboratory course for students operating at the concrete Piagetian level of cognitive development. (SL)

Describes apparatus for demonstrating wave motion in a ripple tank, the conservation of momentum on a linear air track, and velocity distribution in an ideal gas simulator. (SL)

Reviews dye laser instrumentation and its application in chemistry. (SL)

Describes an experiment giving precise results of solubility as a thermodynamics property. (SL)

Describes an oscillating electroscope, an apparatus to verify the time interval between successive events in nuclear decay, and electronic circuits that are the analog of consecutive reactions. (SL)

Describes an experiment studying the decay of moth balls to demonstrate diffusion phenomena. (SL)

Describes a freshman physics laboratory experiment for approximating the mean free path in high density gases by measuring the mean free path of hockey pucks on an air table. (SL)

Describes an undergraduate experiment which will permit students to analyze the rotational Raman spectra of hydrogen and carbon dioxide and determine the bond distances. (SL)
